The shift from Student to Stagnant Stake Holder-Customer-Student
again!
I see hope!
Questioning takes place in business and learning-teaching-imparting and
gaining knowledge is not a business or a trade or even retail…
It can never be.
We may have this notion that we have developed upon the old system of
education, we may feel secure by removing the history…as you know we were
required to remove history- The Raj of Invaders- but we removed our heritage,
as anything 'old' is history for us.
The circle ends there-it starts from where.
What about the Day-Boarding Schools- Gurukul in fact- but costly.
Spending money-having air conditioned rooms, LCD, Laptops, comfortable
transport system and facilities and communication tools also, cannot change the
way of life.
My view can be seen in the laboratory on HOME. Parents do teach you and
these so called development evidences do not add anything to that. It is the
teacher basically, who teaches here, the 'parents'.
The facilities and all developmental evidences are not replacing the
teaching methods; they have been devised to strengthen it. These are just
facilities that have their presence when and as required.
One may not agree with what I say, but this agreement is what the
'reformed teaching' India had developed when there was a need to make minds
ready for governance and fights. When it was concerned with learning- it
remained plain learning.
From the experience, at present, I have an intuition, not to be mistaken
as an excuse to support my defence, I am sure that we are heading to the
culmination of this 'transition' in life.
Education will definitely return to the way it used to be, keeping
the developmental tools with it and adding more of such inventions.
Inventing-Developing and Adopting new ways of
imparting knowledge is to be seen as one-in fact to be believed rather than
seeing it.
A teacher- Teacher I mean- must not be questioned, rather to be
taken as a model, if not role model. THIS must be analysed as a 'Complete
Presence' not fragmented incidents.
Fixations create bondage- being radical with liberal and broad-minded
approach will let you live with your 'self'- the basic/real human being.
