changes needed in our education system

hi sarika this is what i learned in school

might have forgot what i read in my sylabus in my school.i would never forget the following.

i learned to be disciplined,

i learned to devide the day in seven periods time management.

i learned to make friends socialising.

i learned to respect teacher and elders.

i learned goal setting.passing the exam.

i learned to go thru stress.you have to write your exam within the time

i learned seperation when a few of my friends would shift to another section.

i learned my languages.

i learned to be a good public speaker.

i learned my games.

i learned how to communicate properly.

i learned to share.

i learned to sit in a place for the entire time of school.

i learned there is punishment and stars for good and bad performance.

i learned my parent would know how i am performing.

yes all the above were never told to me that i was learning it was by default.this are just a few thing which i can attribute to my school apart from so many other thing which i learned in my school.

I simply support changes in our education system,which has changed allot since 1970 0f education of IIT madras also and still required as per present requirements

we are fast moving towards a era were knowledge is easyliy accessable.you do ot need to mug ,roat and write exams.we are moving to a era were some who would be able to implement the knowledge would be a winner.

today you have the eazee of access any knowledge sitting anywere with you ipods in hand.so it is no more the era of higly intelligent,who would remember things easily.it is a era of people who can use the knowledge and implement the sam ein our lives.

in this era of palm tops and ipods which can access to map,internet,email.dictionary.movies,any librabrary on the net.computer are being carried every were.

yes you have a point when you say in emergency..thats it..you will be something of last resort.so it is not knowledge in mind.it is how you can use it.

the other day i had experienced,people with ipods had better access to information when compared to people who had it in there mind.we were having a discussion on stones.someone was using his mental ability,and someone was using virtual library of information and was able to elobrate better.

in another instance we were discussing a meaning of word and the matter was settled by refering to dictionary on ipod.you have to notice this change and this will be more so in future we are just a step into it.

knowledge is accessable easily on net,it is sought out properly,is faster,is relaible if you know th eright source to access.

i have not said knowledge in mind is not useful,i have brought to front the changing scenario,the way things are changing and so rapid.

it is not about computer literate or against or for them.just open the windows and look at how differently things are perceived
