Why do we find it so necessary to stick with whatever is said by a society with rules made by the society... for the society to run itself??
Rather than the constitutional ones.... it is these unspoken laws of society that could be at the core of the disquiet that we all face...
Who said that a child should start school when they are.. say 5..... and be done by say... 18.....
Why do we,... (by default)... go to college after that... and then a job.... and then... the list goes on...
Even during our 'imposed' studies.. why do choose 'such & such' subjects.
Isn't the whole purpose of school education??
How does learning ever begin or end??
ask anyone with some amount of sense and experience and they'll tell you that of what they've learnt from life... a mere fraction comes from the books.... the vast ocean of experience that you get....during your life...... isnt that the true learning?
you learn throughout your life.... beginning the moment you were born... and ending only the moment you leave this world..... and if some theories are to be believed... learning is not even restricted to that... you learn even before you are born... and it continues after death...
then why is it that 'some kinds' of learning... 'some kinds' of information are more 'valued' than others. why is it that a B.Tech/B.E graduate is 'by default' considered better than a technician of the same or even superior skill.... but without the degree... the technician might actually have a better aptitude for true engineering... but the graduate with his 'degree' is considered superior.... why??
Why is it that someone is not given the freedom to choose what he/she wants to learn??
after all... it's he who is to benefit, he whose mind would store... and he himself who is going to actually put the 'learning' to use.
by choosing what young children learn, are we not limiting the potential of their imaginations and creativity by filling their untainted minds with our preconceived notions??.... moreover, by choosing what they learn... dont we take away the basic freedom that should be afforded to any human being?:
"the freedom to decide what to do with your own life"....
