What’s a thing you wish schools actually taught?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Isn’t there something that all of us wanted to learn in school which we weren’t taught…?
I mean we were taught to have a good memory and throw up everything that we were taught all year on a piece of paper that held our fate of being successful and getting into the next standard…!
We were told to be obedient, follow rules and ultimately be responsible workers instead of being ourselves…!
And that is where I think Indian education system lacked and still lacks…!
We weren’t taught to be creative and have an explorative mindset,
Although we had options but we were forced by our parents and we did what our peers did and that made us feel compatible with them…!
And guess what,
Where did most of them end up..?
Working in a 9 to 5 or running a family business…!
A few were there who had a chance and escaped the scene and left India as soon as year 18-19 and struggled outside of India for their and their family’s betterment…!
Never were we taught to be who we are,
Who we were,
But,
Being workers for a company,
That we were taught…!
I really wish we were taught and had a chance to explore who we were instead of sticking to a curriculum and being graded on that;
Because I see people stuck in a job or a life that they didn’t plan or want, they are still becoming that is what they know…!
If we were taught and learned what we were good at earlier we would have started to hone it earlier than shaving time from our regular life before and after work…!
It was never what we were taught or not,
It was about who we were before and who we were transformed into after going through the gears of the curriculum…!
Let’s not forget the song of the day
Even if you don’t listen to any other language I recommend this song…!
She is someone who gives me goosebumps because of the skill she possesses
Even though i don’t understand the language i feel myself very blessed to be able to hear her voice and the skill she has gradually honed over the years..!
A Palestinian singer who mixes Arabic and Palestinian with classical and jazz music…!
