Unfortunately, that's the reality of many industries and countless organizations.

I too wish this didn't exist. But I'm learning to replace wishful thinking with something better.

In this case, I think reality is providing a valuable learning opportunity to those parents: that they should verify everything before taking as truth, and only believe as an anticipation of goodwill only during the period necessary for verification (to avoid ending up pessimistic or cynic, for instance).

While there are still people that didn't learn and apply these lessons well, there will always be Byju's out there...

'I think reality is providing a valuable learning'

What they need to be provided is a good layer, and a clampdown on corporate fraud.

Yes, abuse should not be tolerated as a learning experience.

There isn't much hope in breaking the wheels of the megacorp and government alliances, but at the very least we can share our criticism and condemn these behaviors.

That's certainly helpful to remediate, but not to prevent these things from repeating in the future.
