I feel so convinced that what is happening in the mass education system
today is full of crap and is just not good enough. Its killing a child's ability
to learn naturally, to enjoy the process of learning and discovery. So much
pressure to become someone, becoming something.. to follow to lead and be be
seen. Its so irrelevant. To be happy and fair and honest and caring and being
all out there to help. Who will teach us that? Even parents don’t teach children
that any longer. Parents compare report cards and hold the teacher responsible
if their child has not performed well as another child.
Why are we moving towards an artificially created world of knowledge and power
and position? Why do all children have to be at the same learning level?
I have a dream. And in my dream you are given a choice to choose and follow
what is your dream. The dream is real and reality follows it to make a world of
artist, painters, actors, heroes, farmers, potters, masons, plumbers,
electricians, sports person, writers, day dreamers, politicians, social
workers, trainers, software engineers, doctors, business men/women, leaders,
educationist............................
It’s a world where we are who are meant to be and not what you want us to
be. We are passionate and honest and humane. We understand that we need to take
care of you and you will take care of us in return. We know that there is enough
and more for everyone on this planet and so we don’t have to fight each other
for land and food and position. We will have what we work honestly and hard for
without harming or taking away from another.
It's a world where I am allowed to dream. A world where I am allowed to be
alive and kicking.
