Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its own life believing that it is stupid. - Quoted by Albert Einstein
Morden Education System | We are not aware of the scientifically proven fact that no two brains are similar. They are not alike. It’s more like our fingerprints. Our brain has some kind of uniqueness as our fingerprint has. Each of our brains is very similar to one another--speaking Anatomically.
The brain is consisting of water, neurons, blood vessels, synapses, and fat but when it comes to the functionality, every brain has its unique pattern of working. This research has been carried out by the scientists to see the pattern of the brain and this information can be very useful in many fields including Education.
As every child’s brain is unique and it has got its own way then why to treat everyone equally. You cannot give the same treatment in medicines. If you push a fish to climb up the tree, then he will never know his capability even if he could do it. He can never endeavor his gift that every person has it in themselves. There should be a different way for each and every child according to their brain’s capability. Yes, why not? If we can have customizes Cars, houses, clothes then why not the education system.
Exams are often conducted to test our ability. “A mere piece of paper”. Seriously?? MCQs, subjective mocks, online, offline and what not more. You can get a good college on a numerical digit that will be displayed on the answer sheet. Frederick. J. Kelly, the inventor of standardized tests himself said, "These tests are too crude to be used and should be abandoned."
What a doctor do is to reach out to your disease and give you the perfect solution, the similar way a teacher has its job. It’s not like standing in front of 50 students giving up the same teaching for every different child, different capability, different goals, different dreams, unique brain. There is nothing as one solution when comes to the different brain. Even our address proofs have different numbers on it. Teachers are the one who can reach out to its student. But they should not be the one who has to blame.
It sounds a bit odd to give every student a unique treatment but there are places who have started doing this practice. Teachers are well paid, shorter school hours, no homework etc. Our Education System that claims itself to be modern but has not changed even a bit. They are preparing the student for the future but the system itself is the same as the old one. You cannot force a fish to climb the tree when he is meant to be in the water. We don’t need Zombie robots rather we need more of a creative intellectual, collaborative environment. Education is very important to direct us but not to bound us.
