I agree backbenchers have their own set of fun which the first benchers are usually deprived of,still backbenchers have to pay a price for it.
Yes, price. Price of being an easy target of teachers! If there's any noise, teachers threating look sweeps over the backbenchers. ‘yes,last benchers,stop talking!’. or ‘yes,you , Mona, stand up and give the answer!’
Since backbenchers live in their own fantasy world,most of the time they hardly understand the question. Even if they understand,they hardly know the answer. Even if they know,it seems against the backbenchers rule book to give an answer. It's better to stand with an innocent poker face and do ‘mmm..chchch.dbdbd…’ which adds an extra fun to class and everyone enjoys. Do you think it's an easy job to make oneself the butt of ridicule and entertain everyone. No man, only the true hero's can dare to such valiant jobs.
It doesn't matter who passes the comments, backbenchers are made to stand and they have to go through the ordeal of a big, big lecture. Class or you can say, mass punishment starts from backside. 'All you backbenchers, just stand ….. I'm just fed up with you'….this is how the sermon starts. If the teachers are in bad mood, backbenchers have to beat their brunt.
If you think, the backbenchers love such adverse remarks, you are wrong. They don't. Who likes to be scolded and that too at 2 places,in the school and at home.
But whatever the world says, backbenchers enjoy the life in true sense. Just compare their life with first benchers…..who spend all their student life with books….no cultural activity..no friends..no canteen…It is sheer wastage of student life. And middle benchers…. they belong to neither side …. they remain average throughout….. neither they study whole heartedly nor they enjoy whole heartedly….. It's backbenchers who spend their student life ‘shan se, sir uthakar’.
And look at their future record….they do excellent.. quite contrary to the expectations of teachers and guardians who enjoy hurling remarks like, ‘tumhara kuch nahi hoga…chai dukan khologe….chaprasi giri karoge ….so on so forth’. You know what these backbenchers come up with flying colours in practical life. They become leaders, politicians, contractors, business tycoons and it's they who give job to first benchers and middle benchers. Ha ha ha….so stop laughing at them…they are the future of our country…. Can you imagine English alphabets without X, Y, Z…? or a Sargam without dh,ni,sa…? or a cricket team with tail enders…? No you can't.
These backbenchers are XYZ of alphabet,dh,ni,sa of Sargam and tail enders of cricket team. A class can't exist without them. Respect them. Praise their guts. Be in their good books, who knows you might need their help when they become ministers or dons….!
