Students are not asking for sympathy or favors. They are asking for one basic thing every nation owes its youth; a fair system, a fair exam, and a fair chance....

ⒷⓄⓄⓀ ⓇⒺⓋⒾⒺⓌ Totto Chan - The little girl at the window Author: Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton Genre: Educational, Biography My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐💥 Have you ever read a book, that was so simple and yet so hard to review? Well this is one such. Totto Chan is a small child in Japan, who was expelled out of her first school due to unruly behavior. However, she gets admitted into Tomoe school, which totally changes her outlook of life, without changing anything in her. A perfect educational system is designed in this book. The base of education should be to focus on each child and their individuality, rather than on syllabus and courses. Although to make it happen, the 'education business' should stop and an urge to enlighten should rise. At Tomoe, students are asked to come in their most threadbare clothing, so that they can engage in whatever play they want in the grounds, on tree tops or sometimes, underneath the fence (being a mischievous kid myself at my early days, all these seem quite normal to me) without stressing about their uniform. Also, they are not required to study according to routine, they can simply read whatever they feel like. Among so so many other things, these two seemed most attractive to me. This book is now part of a curriculum for Japanese kids, as well as the teachers. A nation can truly learn from Sosaku Kobayashi's (the headmaster at Tomoe school) teaching method and enrich the life of future generations. Please read this book if you can. It is easily available in Amazon, in many different language. I just wish I had a school like this when I was a kid. But hopefully, we can create great environment for our next generation at least at home by taking inspiration from Tomoe.

But hey, for now i can speak to people through drawings (my webtoon). Hopefully that’s enough for a 17 year old to do. 

Reposted from @thematrixisreal The school system is there so you can just be smart enough to get a job and pay your taxes. This is modern day slavery. They will never teach you real knowledge, you have to unlearn everything they taught you. The world has changed so much but the education system is so out dated. . #consciousliving #thematrixisreal #thematrix #matrix #thematrix4 #wakeup #wokebreed #woke #wokeaf #consciousness #pinealgland #school #didyouknow #beforeandafter #facts #education #educationsystem #knowledgeispower #111 #1111 #lightworker #higherconsciousness #frequencyhealing #frequency #technology #connectingconsciousness #pinealglandactivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd7bGGHjTz8yJmnYlIy-0S4n7osYN_UD7CERk0/?igshid=kuwtkstbboch

Lots of people I talked to while I was in the U.S. believe that math abilities are inborn, in other words, you either get it or you don’t. It appears that U.S. education system tends to acknowledge that some people have an aptitude for certain subjects and try to design a curriculum around that. While in China, there’s a belief that if you work hard enough you can be reasonably good at any subject. “偏piān科kē” (doing really well in some subjects while doing horribly in others) is generally not encouraged. At school, I tried to be good at every subject, and for some subjects, I need to work harder than the others. Sometimes I wonder what difference it would have made if I had concentrated my efforts only on subjects that I was good at early on and cared less about the others. Yet at same time, I feel that the Chinese education have given me (sometimes naive) confidence when facing an unknown subject— If I put in enough work, I can achieve it. What's your experience with the education system where you are at? 🤓 #educationsystem #chineseeducation #useducation #eastmeetswest #aptitude #hardwork #chineselife #chineseculture #sliceoflife #tinyeyescomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CE_yIMHChmy/?igshid=184nxj6kdht6n

The way people portray education sucks.  You get good teachers in your coaching classes only if you’re up to the mark  Do they ever realize that maybe the children who scored lower deserve the better teachers? Does every child not have an equal opportunity?  There is this online organisation which provides online video lectures to student at minimal cost, for whatever examination preparation. They are gonna be a hosting an online exam which literally is called prodigy.  I’m sorry kids, if you’re not prodigy enough, you won’t get good teachers no matter how much you pay for them.     Another coaching institute for the preparation of medical entrance examination in my country has come up with an exam where they will give the top thousand kids the best quality of education.  This needs to change. Just because a kid didn’t score up to your expectations does not mean they don’t deserve quality education especially after they’ve paid you for it.  Every kid has the untapped potential to top. They deserve their chance. Diving kids on the basis of their ranks is the absolute worse thing you could do as a human being. It breaks my heart to see these coaching institutes making money out of other people’s insecurities.  Reminder:  Even if you are not a topper, even if you don’t get the marks you expect yourself to get, all that matters is you worked hard, and you’re always willing to improve. Do not let the society’s norms get to you. Thrive everyday to make yourself better and NEVER EVER EVER make your worth and intelligence synonymous with your rank or marks
