i have always believed that education should come from within and cannot be forced to to learn like the old saying" you may take a horse to the river but you cannot make it to drink" ..... yet it is becoming difficult nowadays as people are running more on marks and certificate than the knowledge they were supposed to gain when they are studying a particular topic..... but we cant blame them as the pressure is also from the parents and teacher.... hope some day the view will change and students will be able to go to school without any fear or tears in their eyes as they are about to enter the school gate ... school is not a burden it is a holy place of enlightenment......

I truly agree with you. Some people just born to be a great philosopher, and some people are born to be street smart. That is the way it is. We can't force them to like study. We have to make it a fun place to go, and a place for them to actually enjoy themselves, right?

Yeah we can just suggest them what is good or what is bad...its also the basics of education but we can't forced them or insists them to choose what we want. We can just show them the right path but it's up to them to seek their destination. a pond fish can never survive in a big sea, whatever it's big or full of resources, but the pond is its destination and it can breath only their.

Hi, I agree with you. Studying should be fun and not boring. When I was still in school and our discussion is about Medical Surgical, when your sitting there listening for more than 3 hours OMG, it's like your mind is drifting already, lol. So, somehow teachers know so they always give us a break. She or he might tell us a funny story, joke around us, let us take some snacks, restroom break and even smoking break, lol. A short 15 minutes break do wonders and after that we are all ready to tackle another difficult topic. ![](/Content/images/emotes/wink.gif)

This is very true as i have it experienced recently.
Learning with fun is most training centers offered nowadays,becoz it is more relaxed to learn and study with some fun too.
That is why,some companies established team building/bonding once in a while becoz we learn from fun too.
Learning doesn't need to be serious all the time and keep self too much engrossed with studies and even forget to smile due to too much pressure of homeworks and projects.
I hope that formal school can apply some fun with their teaching techniques too.
Have a good day always![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

I truly agree with you. We have made education as a punishment of sin and the classrooms as a prison. But you cannot taught a child who is imprisoned. Knowledge is a means of freedom. When you are not free, theres no need of knowledge. This freedom doesn't require the agreement of living outside the prison but the real freedom is called the independence of thinking, independence of doing what my heart wants to do, what my soul is made to do. But we always force our children to be whatever we want them to be. It not only take over their freedom but also take over their intentions to seek knowledge, to learn new things, to boost up their ideas, their creativity.

School is cools as they say, one must enjoy going to school because it may cause stress every time they go to school without fun. In my case, when I went to school i really had a great time. You must belong in a group of people wherein they can influence you with good deeds and good grades as well. Don't be too much pressure with school stuff, just lighten up and have fun.

hi,friend,maybe you are right.Actually,we have never tried to educate the student to be what he wants to be.I think this won't happen when polulation is big. Imagining you are a teacher,how would you teache them, actually, you can only care most of them, because, as you know, everyone is different.So, the socialty needs the parents to educate the children together, however, most parents are busing striving for survive.In all, we are in suituation which won't change in near future.If you understand this and teach your child in personal way in future,that would be nice.Good Luck for you!

I do admit that there are a lot of times where there was something that was mentioned in passing in a class. However, it was only something that is touched upon briefly. Therefore, I looked into the subject a bit more closely. Perhaps a did an Internet search on it, to learn more. Or in the days before the Internet, I studied a lot more.
Of course, there are times where there were things that I had to study. Things that might not have been something that I enjoyed. However, they were things that needed to be learn. It was absolutely necessary for me to study this, to get from Point A to Point B to Point C. I did and did fairly well most times. However, it did seem to be just something that could not be as thrilling. Of course, not everything in life can be.
