Intelligent minds....

Sometimes people act in a foolish manner because of their ignorance and stubbornness not to see beyond their own perception of things.Once they come out of this mindset it is easy for them to broaden their vision.It can happen to any one of us since it is not possible to know everything but having an open mind helps get over this...

We compare such people with a frog in the well, which thinks there's no other world beyond its well.
Yes, I agree it's not possible for all to become encyclopedias. People who know about this truth generally are open minded.

It's a matter of time. Those who are ashamed of their ignorance, and feign wise, sooner than later will be exposed.

In fact it is better to admit rather than look foolish ! But soome people hate to admit that they dont know something and if you lay traps they will fall into it and even after that they will not admit.I have a cousin who is a know all, she keeps talking about proven things , sometimes gets carried away to the extent where she even twists things and it is quite amusing to see her tie up in knots trying to get out of the situation :laugh:

Yes a person should refrain himself from boasting his knowledge on a subject, if he is ignorant about it. This will land him in many awkward situations.

Intelligence is a relative term. Not an absolute term. If I say I'm intelligent, I may be more intelligent than some around me. Not the most intelligent of all in the world. So, intelligent minds keep this in mind and never boast of their intellect. They also know that they are forever learners.

Talking about teaching profession, I find most teachers averse to any kind of contradictory views that may actually be right, especially when it comes from other teachers or worse still students .Their thinking is that their knowledge is superior to that of their students, but sometin=mes your students surprise you by their general knowledge ! Most of us tend to think that what we know and what we believe is the only right thing ,failing to realise that in a world made up of so many millions of people there could be as many view points regarding one issue...

Yes some teachers feel that way. If you ask them anything that is outside the course, they will scold you for wasting their time because such question have no marks in the exam. Teachers should be more understanding.

Part of the blame lies with the education department since they have a syllabus which is quite outdated and one is supposed to stick to it and not stray ! teachers are not given any kind of freedom to put in some relevant points of their own, that being the case most teachers are happy to go with the flow instead of teaching anything new !

Yes teachers should be given more creative freedom in their teaching methods. They should encourage free thinking and innovative ideas in students.

Education, has become a huge lucrative industry here in India. It's not uncommon to see the Ads placed in Media by the schools of today like
" Bring two children and get free education for your child."
" First of its kind, where the entire premises of our school is Air conditioned."
Is there any scope for children for learning in the present scenario?

Schools are giving all kind superficial facilities instead of providing real education. The authorities want to attract more parents to admit their children in their schools. If a school gains a little reputation they also start demanding "donations" from the parents.

Most pitiable aspect is Parents are acting as the promoters of these schools for the incentives and sops to the parents who bring more students and enroll them in these educational institutions.

Seeing the present education system i feel it's not the children but the parents need education..

It is a vicious circle - parents want quick fix solutions when their children are doing badly , failing to realise that the main fault lies with them and the teachers conveniently put the onus on parents not realising that they too have a responsibility to see that the child is faring well in their class or else take proper measures to get to the root of the problem !

Anyway you look at it, Parents are the prime offenders. After all the child has not descended directly in to a class room. The parents are the first teachers. This fact is conveniently forgotten by the parents who are ignorant of their responsibilities and driven away by the foolish thought that their children will be well off, if a few bucks are thrown at the teachers and the schools.

Yes parents should also take equal responsibility for their child's education. The parents are busy with their work so they send their children to a tuition class and think they have fulfilled their responsibility.
