'21st CENTURY EDUCATION--NO HECTIC HOME WORKS, NO HUGE BAGS ON BACKS, NO ASSIGNMENTS AND EVEN NO STRESSFUL EXAMS.' I RECEIVED A MAIL FORM ANONYMOUS SENDER. I STARED AT IT IN DISBELIEF,NOT THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT THAT IT IS HAPPENING NOW. I AGREE THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN ADVANCED FOR PAST 50 YEARS BUT SUCH A CHANGE IN EDUCATION !? I WONDER IF IT IS REALLY REQUIRED AND MAINLY IF IT IS HELPFUL.
AS A CHILD WE NEVER HAD SUCH A KIND OF EDUCATION.OUR SYSTEM WAS STRAIGHT AND HARD WORKING.I STILL REMEMBER HOW MUCH WORK I HAD TO DO TO SOLVE A MATHS PROBLEM OR COMPOSE A COMPOSITION. I WORKED DAYS TOGETHER TO COMPLETE MY ASSIGNMENTS AND THE FEAR I HAD EXPECTING A SURPRISE SLIP TEST THE NEXT DAY. AND TODAY I REGRET MY FEAR THEN.BUT IF IT IS NOT THE SAME THAT TIME,I WOULD SURELY NOT BEEN AS I AM NOW.
I HAVE BEEN TO THE BEST SCHOOL,COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY NO DOUBT ABOUT IT BUT THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION WAS MORE OR LESS SIMILAR IN ALL STAGES. IT IS ALL A MATTER OF WORK AND UNDERSTANDING. THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND,THE MORE WE CAN WORK AND THE MORE WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT. OF COURSE THE HARD WORK PAID IN FUTURE. AND ABOVE ALL,WHAT PEOPLE CALL TECHNOLOGY TODAY IS JUST BECAUSE OF SINCERE EFFORT OF THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS WHO HAD NORMAL MODE OS EDUCATION. THERE WERE NO VISUAL AIDS FOR US TO PRESENT THE SHAPES OF OBJECTS OR PICTURIZE THE DESCRIPTION OF MARS OR RAIN FALL. WE HAD TO THINK A LOT AND UTILIZE OUR INTELLECTUAL POWER TO 'VIEW' THEM. AND TODAY,IT ALL HAPPENS JUST WITH A CLICK OF MOUSE !!!
I WONDER THIS IS REALLY NECESSARY FOR THE STUDENTS TODAY.HOW CAN THEIR INTELLECTUAL SKILLS GROWS IF THEY HARDLY USES THEIR MIND TO LEARN? IS THE PRESENT WORLD TECHNOLOGY NOT A RESULT OF THE NORMAL STRENUOUS MODE OF TEACHING? DID WE NOT BEEN THROUGH IT SUCCESSFULLY? AND WERE THE RESULTS NOT ENCOURAGING? CAN THIS 'NEW'-SIMPLE AND EASY MODE EQUALISE OURS? IT IS NO WONDER THAT PEOPLE SEEK SIMPLER WAY OF LIVING AND LUXURIOUS BUT A LUXURIOUS WAY OF EDUCATION???I CAN'T AGREE WITH IT. DIDN'T WE LEARN THAT 'HARD WORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS'!!!???
