'i thought the idea of education is to learn to think by yourself' Mr Keating, Dead Poet Society..
there is apart of me that question the learning process that i had been during school.. we are thought to excel to pass exam to get an a.. for me it is not the hard part.. anyone who give an extra effort to study can do it, getting an a is not hard now, with good education system, and good tuition center, anybody can excel..
my point is, what is the reason for education. do we prepared to face the world when we get an a for our paper. why A is so important? why do that become the subject of every parents when they ask about other parents children? do we compare our child with how many a she/he got? hurm.. perhaps it is.. that is why some school children commit suicide when they dont achieve it..
once in a while i question my self, had i been inspired by anybody at school.. the theory of excellency are based on the mark teachers wrote on top of your exam paper.. everytime during exam, we become so stressful thinking that how can we do it? how can i answer? well, if you already prepared yourself, it would not be matter, wouldnt it.. but the problem is,, we are never prepared.. we never do.. we are so caught up with the exam until we miss the point of learning.. we live and breath for exam not for education,, what we learn because of it is going to be asked on examination, not because we want to know..
i believe that our education system supress the talent and creativity of young mind.. we are not thought to think but thought how to answer question and to hafal stuff
i guess that is the reason why we never appreciate our own history..because we are not inspired by the history itself, we read it, because there will be a question to be answer..
well, heck, i never been inspired my whole life of education.. still searching for inspiration.. still searching for the reason i study!
