WAT ARE WE LEARNING????

Education is the gift given to a kid from the early ages. It is the only tool that distinguishes a human from the living things. We learn how to speak, we learn how to behave, we learn how to think, we learn how to express and what not??? We have changed the world this way with the knowledge we got from our parents and the teachers. But is the situation still the same????

If asked then the answer is neither “yes” nor “no”. we are in a situation where we don’t actually know where we are tending towards. Every child today, from his kindergarten age, is fed with the zeal of getting the top mark in the class and the child is working very hard (even if not interested) to gain them because he is afraid of the parents and teachers.

The age of education has become merely a “MARK” oriented process. May it be the primary school or the higher grades. The concept of knowledge is found no where. We find children carrying a bag that weighs more than his own weight, but still we say he is building his future with his back bent. The child, in these days, doesn’t know how to play in the rain( because he is afraid of the teacher who scolds him if he is infected), he doesn’t know how to leave boats in a stream( because he is afraid of his mother who would call in midst to do his home work), he doesn’t wish to watch his favorite cartoon (because he is afraid of his father scolding him for closing his books and keeping them aside).

Should the management be responsible to make the student enjoy his childhood while gaining knowledge??? Should the parent think about his kid’s present than his future??? should the kid leave his parents and teachers aside and enjoy his childhood????

If the child future is to be a great one, should he sacrifice his childhood among the books, marks, IIT foundation classes, hobby classes, Abacus classes, etc...??? this way of education seems to be a good one when seen from the parents side but when the child wants to bring out his dreams, his creativity there is nothing left with him except the “FIRST RANKED” report cards and a bent back.
