Are We Creating Thinkers or Robots? Time to Rethink Education

In the old times, schools used to be of the different type, if I talk about India , then there used to be Gurukuls, where every student who came there was imparted different types of education. But gradually, when schooling came, everything started changing, and we all started adapting accordingly. Nowadays, the Gurukuls that you see are very rare. I would not say that they have ended completely; they still exist in many places. The purpose of school is to educate children and keep them in a good manner, but see, what happens in school is something else, and we send children differently, we have all also taught in school, and we all know what happens in schools. It seemed like a long time ago but now slowly things have changed a lot because now a lot of things are available online, earlier people used to go to physical school or tuition classes but now many people also take virtual classes and some students do not even step out of the house and they do all their preparation sitting at home, if you have a proper internet connection and a smart device, then you can achieve a lot sitting at home.

Things are very different till you go to school till 12th standard. Then things become very different when you come to college because in schools a lot of homework and other things are given. Then after coming to college you become independent and there things are controlled by you and not by the school, this is what happens in most places. If a student does not have free time, they cannot do anything, and because of this, they will remain busy with their school work and other school activities and will not understand things. I often see that small children go to school with very heavy bags, and then they feel very tired because there is a school of about four or five hours, and after that, going home and doing homework or going for tuition is very tiring.

Children get very exhausted after going to school and then going home and do their homework, due to which they do not get any time at all. I remember when we were in school, we used to do all types of things and it was only on Saturdays and Sundays that we used to get free time, then we used to see all the children playing games here and there, but most of the children who are below tenth class, often do their homework after coming from school and just keep studying, due to which they do not get any time to do anything else. School education is also important, but children should not be given so much work at which they cannot do anything else. I was very angry with those people, I would say I consider them intelligent who did not do their homework at all because see what would happen at the most, they would have to come to school and get scolded, they would get angry a bit, but after that the teachers would not pay attention to them and after some time it would happen that they would come in such a category that the teachers would not have any expectations at all.

In a way, they used to do the right thing because they had a lot of time to go here and there or do other things, but on the contrary, the person who does homework daily or does any work related to school does not have any kind of time. We all keep thinking that if not today, then tomorrow we will get time. When we are in school, we think that our life pattern will be better in college. When we are in college, we think that our life pattern will be better when we start a job. See, life is never better and does not go according to us. We just have to go according to whatever time we have and whatever time we have, and we should celebrate it happily with our family and have a lot of fun with our family.

Kids are given smart devices for studies but see, kids play games or do other kinds of activities but , we should get involved with our children and if you go to the parent teacher meeting of the school, then you must speak on the fact that children should be given less homework so that they have free time, otherwise children will just keep doing homework and many golden moments of their life get wasted like this. I will not say that homework should be stopped completely, but children should be given very little homework so that they can increase their skills, do other things as well, or work on their hobbies or work on whatever they like, so that they can upgrade their skills and emerge as a new person.

All these things take a lot of time to change but there are a lot of countries which do this, which we give a damn about, Finland is at the top among them and is also considered the happiest country, maybe this is also a reason, but look, whatever the reason is, if you give work to the children, then the children will like it and will feel good, so that they can work and take care of many more children, in such a situation they will feel very tired and whoever comes after them one day will not be able to enjoy it as much as they should, what do you think about this.
