We, as parents have been utterly dismayed to see how hard and weird the current SSC Bangla 2nd paper questions have been, specially the MCQ (objective) section, for no understandable reason! These question selectors must have tried their best to unnerve and scare our children by selecting very complex, unusual and strange MCQs. We the parents just watched helplessly while our children came out of halls shuddering and shaken having appeared in this exam.

We have physically observed ourselves at a few city exam centres how most of the SSC examinees expressed their extreme resentment for performing poorly at the hall due to such extremely difficult MCQs. What sense does this make anyway to these 'wise' examiners to select such strange MCQs, may we ask? Our children are only appearing in SSC exams and not doing any thesis for Ph.D in Bangla, please bear in mind, the arbiters of our children's fate!

Having said it all, may I, through this humble letter, earnestly request the Chief Controller of Examinations of Dhaka Board and all other appropriate authorities to have this issue looked into with due seriousness and compassion.

Please, for heaven's sake, see that our helpless children receive fair treatment and justice from you all while you put marks in their answer scripts, in the light of this year's unusually difficult and strange MCQs in Bangla 2nd paper.
