The only thing
that interferes with my learning is my education’ said Einstein. Like operating
system sets up the way the computer will function, education sets up our brain.
Most of our actions and thoughts are a result of our education system.
Unfortunately, this hinders creativity and creates barriers between right and
wrong.
Einstien was a
school drop-out as he was not able to learn what was taught at school. Everyone
called him a failure and stupid before he made his inventions. This is the same
way we treat our children when they do not perform well at school. We often
fail to understand their condition and scold them. But we must understand some
children are god gifted and have in born knowledge and talent. Sometimes they
bring a fresh perspective or a new mind-set to subjects which can be different
from the regular regime. Instead of shutting them down, we must give them free
space where they can express themselves and their energy.
Instead of
producing robots at schools, the education system must be made flexible so
enough importance is given to creativity and thought. The madness and passion
that Einstein had to invent something new is important. Children with these
traits must be encouraged.
