In this world of competition where we learn from the early age how to compete and depend on others. There is no respect for individuality and childhood of children..A 5 year child is going to school and attention tuition class...He's not aware of either of the institutions...Parents think schools are everything and children can only be successful when they learn how to be dependent on schools and tuition classes..when they follow competition recklessly..This is the way parents are robbing the golden childhood from their children.. Man has destroyed earth.. Jungles.. Rivers..And now childhood of the innocent children..

Sorry, but this is half-baked balderdash. You must have made negative experiences at school. Let me tell you that a healthy, normal child looks forward to going to school at the age of 5 or 6. You haven't said how you would like children to spend their 'golden childhood'. By staying at home and playing with gadgets or playing in the streets all alone because the other children are at school? If you are so concerned about earth, jungles, rivers --- who can save them if not scientists who've gone to school and learnt something?

Well I'm not against schools..I'm just saying remember the importance of childhood.. Because this amazing period is enough to teach a child wonderful things and the important of curiosity..And a child can play alone..His imagination and curiosity are best friends of him...And look around who's saving what..The earth is dying..And schools n institutions have become the biggest industries..

@MALUSE Dear sir... Education has because a very big business in the world..In my place a middle-class boy can't study in private school..They charge more than enough... Every now and then businessmen are establishing new private schools..They provide everything in school books.. Dresses.. Shoes..And you have to buy all the things from schools after paying a good amount of money..

I know the most important thing is to be yourself, cause your real side will definitely come out before others how much hard you try to hide it

You are right. Always pressuring kids to be in the rat race can often make them unhappy and unprepared for other challenges of life.

@Mannpandey Yes and we need to give space to a child to pursue his or her interest.

@Mannpandey I'm telling you a second time: I'm not a sir. I'm a woman with a straw hat on. If this is a problem in India, you should mention this in your post and not write in a way as if you were telling the world a universal truth.

Very true. Totally agree with your thoughts. But what to do? Is there any solutions? But this school study has no value after you get a job.

We must focus our attention on child's interest..What he likes..Where his attention goes spontaneously..And we should plan for his academics according to child's interest.. According to me..

Actually, there are entire academic departments devoted to research on early childhood education, and scholarly journals that publish articles on the same. The consensus right now is that young children learn though play and that teachers should encourage play, and occasionally guide such play, or model new ideas during play. I see nothing but joy on the faces of the younger children I work with as they dig tunnels, make stacky towers out of blocks, are read books, and so on. Kindergarten is a transitional "grade": there's a bit more structure to prepare children for reading, math, etc., but the emphasis is still on fun. There are families who put too much pressure on their kids--that is true. And there are some teachers who are "burnt out" and don't impart joy to the children. But good teachers make leaning fun.

That's your point of you. Mine is different. Man is here to search for his happiness not to compete with others but to follow and obey God's commandments to reach or achieve that eternal happiness.

I do not agree with you I believe that teachers where put on earth to teach and children where put on earth to learn Life is a learning experience whether it is a good od bad experience it is all about learning a lesson and maturing and moving forward in life.

For me secondary school was not a fun place, but a place where I was expected to conform to social norms. I am not someone who likes to be fettered with rigid rules. I tend to fight against them, often to my detriment I will agree. I quit high school in the 10th grade. The reasons are many, but basically, I saw no point in continuing. I got quite a rude awaking. I tried to get work... no diploma, no way!. That's what I was told over and over again. I missed one semester of school after quitting, and then went in and asked to come back. I got my diploma the summer after my graduating class. I loathed having to go every day, I often fell asleep in class because the lectures were so poorly given, and I barely survived. I learned something. Not all teachers had the attitude of You will do it my way or else. (There were many of these.) But I had a couple who took an interest in the students. Who made opportunities for learning fun. Those got my attention. One in particular managed to instill something in me that pushed at me from inside so that when I had done my military obligation, I went to the Local Junior College and then on to a four year school. I got a degree. I think it depends on the school and the instructors how well students learn. A good teacher, one who genuinely cares about the students, is worth twenty of the ones who are there to collect a paycheck and benefits.
