Bad educational system

Educational system is geared for mass production. It is supposed to bring up a child having some natural instincts and home background to a young man useful to him as well as the society. This is all theory never tried well to be put into effective practice. Now what is done? Thinking that certain kinds of knowledge and skill are deemed good for the child in future and they are poured into him with out giving him any choice. Parents also don't bother much about the personality of the child. They want as quickly and efficiently an earning man with status to be produced by him and the system. So, never in our system "CHILD BECOMES THE FATHER OF THE MAN" as was envisaged by educational phelosophers. Insted children become SLAVES OF A FUTURE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE KNOWN BY EDUCATIONISTS AND REFLECTED APEISHLY BY PARENTS AND TEACHERS. Education has a word meaning: TO DRAW OUT! EDUCATION SHOULD BE A PROGRAMME TO FIND OUT THE INHERENT POSITIVE ABILITIES OF A CHILD AND TEND IT PROPERLY SO AS TO BE USEFUL TO HIM IN FUTURE. Kadangodan37

You are quite correct in your assessment. We don't really have education but we do have the training of good worker drones, that can't formulate enough thought to realize they are being had by proposals that appear to be good ideas, but really harm them in the end. YOu are thinking and that is rare. most people never realize what you have pointed out here...KUDOS!

Hi, cryne! Obviously, there is much disadvantages in our educational system, the distance from education in school and the practical work at office is big. We have to learn a lot on the professional aspect and the communication skills after having a job. But the the educational system has its own advantages of course, it makes us grow up and become a kownleage people, it just not perfect.

I agree, but I think part of the problem is with society in general. I've run into a lot of students who feel that this kind of training is what they should have, and what they demand. They want those jobs, and maybe even have a romantic view of them, and so they expect to be trained in how to to work in the workforce. Of course, there are problems with not teaching them to think otherwise, but it's such a huge problem in general, throught the education system and everywhere else.
