“Everyboday is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein
School plays major role in our life, we learn most basic things in school like writing, reading, calculating and many more activities. School is seen as most respected place because it makes us learnt person. But there are some drawback in the modules of schools, every child has different capability and they don’t need to study all subjects for polishing the talent and the skill in which he or she is interested. For example there is the classroom in an imaginary forest school, in that school every animal has four subjects and these are swimming, flying, running, and hoping. You know, this school has very poor annual result. Student of this school only qualify one out of four subjects, no student has ever qualified all the four subjects, let’s see the report card of fishes, they got 100 out of 100 in swimming but in rest 3 subjects, they got zero. birds got 100 in flying but in rest of the 3 subjects, they got zero. monkeys scored very well in 2 subjects hoping and running but they also got zero in swimming and flying. elephants did not qualified any of the subjects. lion and other big cats qualified running but got failed in flying and they got less marks in swimming and hoping. we can easily see the reason behind their failure. You must be thinking how stupid is the module of forest school, which are giving same subjects to all animals without seeing their natural capabilities, subjects are not given according to animals, every student has to study every subject, this is ridiculous! and that’s why no student has ever qualified all four subjects,even if they tried very hard.
This is not only the story of animal school but all the schools. With the example of this story, i just want you to understand that education system of our country is just like that imaginary “forest school ” of the story. Students are given 8 different subjects, and they have to qualify all 8 subjects, whether they are understanding these subjects or not! whether they are interested in these subjects or not! some students good at literature and creativity, some are good at math and logic, but they have to study all subjects, that’s why students are not being expert in those field, which they like and they may also do something great in them. students should not be measured with same scale of examination, students should be seen or given education according to their natural interests and talents.
