Why can't we be more reasonable to reconsider the whole process of system of education having a view that we are producing most learned and not the best learned। are we not making machines and the system is going to collapse one of these days . we have failed to make men and it may rain tomorrow , when the balance let itself lost. needless to say ,people in high places have unexpectedly gone out of their senses and behaved foolishly and with daring shamelessness , although highly educated and properly selected by prestigious institutions. we have gone helpless , i dare say , and tired to find means and ways to overcome these problems. that may and may not be true ,we are going to find ourselves in trouble by giving a generation to future that would not forgive us.
To quote ,S. Radhakrishnan ,"education must be humane , training of the intellect , refinement of the heart and discipline of the mind and spirit are the aims that should be kept in the center.
J.J.Rousseau says that there are three sources of getting education। 1- Nature , that develops the faculties and organs of body।2 - The man , that helps us in practice and we can learn from their experiences and 3- the self experience of the learner provided he has the deserving ability to learn himself. विद्या ददाति विनयम , विनयाद पात्रताम Shakespeare says the same thing , " Tongue in trees , books in running brooks , sermon in rocks , and good in every thing." many a times , i asked my teachers to let their windows down and open the windows of Nature and world and help your child learn.
It may be a little bit . away but relevant to say to teachers that they should do the best that they could , is to learn themselves at least 4 hours a day , and a student on the other , should teach his juniors for one hour. this is the oldest and the best method without failure in any case in process of learning and teaching.
In the end , i would like to remind what Schelling says (already mentioned) , "Education makes for inequality , the inequality of individuality ; inequality of success , glories ; inequality of talent , of genius and not for standardization and equality."
