“A society’s competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.” – A. Einstein.
Right since my inception in this earth, it seems as if I were born to hate my school where I wasted thirteen great years of my life. The school gave me nothing throughout my life except for, in the final year, a mere sheet of paper which reads in bold letters, M-A-R-K-S-H-E-E-T. I was happy now, not because of the reason why everyone else was, but because I was leaving that school for ever and ever. That sounds impudent to you, I guess. But remember the great saying, blind respect for authority is the worst enemy of truth. Do you think that the laminated piece of paper was the only thing for which I spent my thirteen long years in the fetters of my ever-shifting life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness? Do you think the holders of the banners of education, take part in the slightest creation of educated beings? Do you think education is cramming the brain with information for the sole purpose of bringing home a very good certificate? Do you think education is to be the proud “one” chosen out of thousands and thousands of seeking faces? Do you think education is that which guarantees you the job of a multinational company, the earnings of which will build you a castle of gold? Probably you are replying in the positive.
