AN ATTEMPT TO PUT FORWARD WHAT TODAYS STUDENTS ARE FACING
EDUCATION IS CONSIDERED AS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN ALL ASPECTS WHETHER IT’S PERSONAL , SOCIAL, ECONOMICAL OR MENTAL WELFARE BUT IT IS SAD TO SEE THE EDUCATION IS NOT SERVING THE PURPOSE WHICH IT WAS THOUGHT TO SERVE.
WE CAN SEE FRUSTATED STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS BEING SO MUCH CONCERNED FOR EDUCATION, AS THEY WANT THEIR KIDS TO GET BEST OF EDUCATION AND IN DOING SO THAT, ALL ARE LOSING THE ESSENCE OF REAL EDUCATION WHICH IS TO MAKE AN INDIVIDUAL A BETTER PERSON WHO CAN UNDERSTAND VARIOUS PROBLEMS ,DEAL WITH IT IN A POSITIVE WAY, DO GOOD TO MANKIND AND SET A PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR THE GENERATION NEXT.
YOU CAN READ ABOUT SUICIDES DAILY IN THE NEWSPAPERS AND IT IS REALLY VERY SAD TO NOTE THAT THE YOUNG KIDS ARE MORE INTO SUICIDE.
THE PEER PRESSURE NOWADAYS IS EDUCATION, WHITE COLLAR JOB, HIGH STATUS, GOING ABROAD, FASHION, LOVE AFFAIR WITHOUT KNOWING THE MEANING OF LOVE, FOLLOWING YOUR CO WORKERS, CLASS FELLOW OR NEIGHBOURS, MARRIAGE IN RICH FAMILY ETC
TODAY THE WORLD HAS TURNED INTO A WEBCOB WITH MANY INTRICATE STRINGS BONDED BY THE THREAD OF JEALOUSY, OUTSHINING OTHERS, RACE OF MATERIALISM, EGO, SUCCESS BY HOOK OR CROOK BY LOSING THE MENTAL PEACE. I REALLY LAUGH AT THOSE WHO WORK SO HARD, EARN SO MUCH MONEY, TRY TO MAINTAIN HIGH SOCIAL STATUS BUT ARE NOT HAPPY, ARE NOT ENJOYING SMALL PETTY THINGS, LIKE RAIN, DINNERS, JOKE, FAMILY, POEM, ETC. THEY ARE LOSING THEMSELVES AND THAT DAY IS NOT FAR WHEN OUR MORTAL BODY IS GOING TO DIE. IN NUT SHELL WE ARE NOT REALLY LIVING OUR LIVES RATHER WE ARE ALL TRYING TO EXIST.
I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD STUDENTS TALKING THAT PARENTS ARE ALWAYS COMPARING THEM WITH OHTER KIDS AND NEVER APPRECIATE THEM FOR ONCE .NOW THIS WHERE WE ARE GOING WRONG.THE NEED OF THE HOUR TO UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE THEORY THAT "EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS DIFFERENT SET OF VALUES, SKILLS, THOUGHTS AND MIND PATTERN". YOU CANNOT IN ANY WAYS COMPARE ONE HUMAN BEING WITH OTHERS THOUGH WE ALL HAVE SAME TYPE OF BRAIN AND BODY STRUCTURE BUT THE DIFFERENT LIES HOW THE CHILD IS BEIING TREATED AT HOME FROM HIS EARLY AGE OF TIME, HOW WAS HE FED, TAUGHT,AND GROOMED, WHAT WERE THE MORALS INCORPORATED IN HIM, AND DID PARENTS PREPARED THEM AS THE WORLD IS TODAY ,THAT IS TAUGHT HIM MORALS, MEDITATION, SPIRITUAL WELL BEING, CONTENTMENT, LOVE AND KINDNESS BUT WE DO OPPOSITE ,WE THROW HIM INTO THE KILN OF WORLDLY PETTY WORKS.
WE ARE PUSHING OUR YOUNG GENERATION TOO MUCH, IT'S A REQUEST TO STOP COMPARING AND SAYING THAT "I WAS NOT COMPARING JUST GIVING AN EXAMPLE COZ CHILD ALWAYS WANTS YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT MORE THAN ANYONE ESLE. IF FOR ONCE GOD SAKE YOU SEE WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOUR CHILD FOR REAL AND WHAT YOUR CHILD CAN DO ? MORE IMPORTANTELY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO?, SUPPORT HIM/HER THROUGHOUT MOSTLY IN THE FAILURE THEN U SEE WE ARE GOING TO GET BEST YIELD OUT OF THEM.
BY FORCING THEM TO FOLLOW WHAT OTHER CHILDREN ARE DOING, HOW TALENTED THEY ARE, WE ARE KILLING THEIR CONFIDENCE OF WHAT THEY WANT TO DO ? AND CAN DO ? ,IN THIS PROCESS THEY FORGET WHAT THEY ARE, WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DOING, AND START CHASING YOUR DREAMS IN VAIN AND FAIL AGAIN AND AGAIN AS THEY DO NOT FEEL SAME AS YOU DO DEEP IN THEIR HEART.
WHY DONT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE ARE GOING FORCE THEM AND PRESSURIZE THEM TO BECOME SAY DOCTOR, SEE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IN LONG TERM
HE IS GOING STUDY BUT WITH NO INTEREST, THEREBY LEAVING BEHIND SOME MINOR BUT IMPORTANT DETAIL THAT A DOCTOR SHOULD KNOW AND IT IS GOING TO BE FATAL FOR THE PEOPLE HE IS GOING TO TREAT. "DONT WE SAY THAT TODAYS DOCTOR ARE ALL USELESS AS THEY HAVE GOT MBBS THROUGH BRIBE AND PLAYING WITH THE LIVES OF HUMANKIND. BUT WE DONT REALIZE, SOME OF US (PARENTS) HAVE CREATED THEM BY SAYING "U R SUPPOSE TO BECOME A DOCTOR", "SEE MR X'S SON IS DUFFER AND HAS BECOME DOCTOR" AND SO ON, NOT REALISING THE OUTCOME OF WHAT WE ARE DOING TO OURSELVES, FOR THE CHILD AND THE SOCIETY.
THE EDUCATION AND CHILDREN ARE BEING DIVIDED AND SOME SUBJECTS ARE BEING LOOKED DOWN UPON. FOR EXAMPLE THE STUDENTS OPTING FOR B.A. ARE CONSIDERED UNINTELLIGENT, INFERIOR AND LOW GRADED THAN THOSE OPTING FOR B.COM AND B.SC.EVEN THE TEACHER CREATE THIS NOTION SAYING"IF U R NOT GOING WORK HARD AND U WILL SEE THAT ONLY B.A. IS GOING TO BE YOUR OPTION AND U WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE. JUST SEE WHAT OUR GURUS ARE DOING THEY CREATING THE DIFFERENCES AMONG THE STUDENTS, THEY ARE ONE TO BE BLAMED AS A CHILD TENDS TO FOLLOW TEACHER'S THINKING AND START FORMING OPINION ON HER/HIS OPINIONS.
STOP THIS OR WE ALL WILL BE BURDENDED WITH THE SUICIDES WHICH WILL ONE DAY OR THE OTHER CAN OCCUR IN OUR OWN HOME.
THE B.ED TEACHING PROVIDED IS TOTALLY IMPRACTICAL AS THE BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL THINGS ARE NOT BEING TAUGHT, IT’S JUST BUSINESS TO EARN MONEY.
THE TEACHERS SHOULD COUNSEL THE PERSON KEEPING IN VIEW THAT WE TEND TO GET NEGATIVITY MORE EASILY THAN POSITIVITY AND ON THE OTHER HAND PARENTS SHOULD NOT FORCE THEIR FAILURES OR DREAM ON THIER KIDS, GIVE SOME SPACE TO YOUR CHILDREN TO GROW OF THEIR OWN, TRY TO ANALYSE BEST IN THEM AND GO TO A EDUCATION COUNSELLOR IF HE HIMSELF IS NOT CONFIDENT IN HIS CHOICE.
THERE ARE MANY FIELD BOTH EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONANL, THE NEED IS TO FIND AND SEE ITS OPPURTUNITIES AND THANKS TO INTERNET NOW YOU CAN KNOW ALMOST ANYTHING.
LET THEM FLY LIKE BIRD AND CUT DOWN THE STRESS, PRESSURE, NAGGING, COMPARISION AND MANY OTHER THINGS WHICH WE DO (WE ALL KNOW DEEP DOWN WHEN DO SOME WRONG THING AND TRY TO PRESENT FALSE PICTURE).
I HAVE TRIED TO SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF TODAY'S CHILDREN WHO ARE TURNING INTO SOME INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT MOULDED BY PARENTS, TEACHERS, FAMILY MEMBERS, RELATIVE ETC AS IF THEY ARE NON LIVING OBJECTS. I HAVE VERY HONESTLY SEEN THINGS AS MYSELF WENT THROUGH IT AND NOW I AM A TUTOR AND AM HEARING COMPLAINTS FROM CHILDREN WHICH GAVE ME COURAGE TO WRITE AND EXPRESS MY FEELING AND SEE IF IT COULD HELP.
A WORD OF ADVICE
DONT BOTHER ABOUT WHAT SOCIETY IS GOING TO THINK OR SAY, JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND GOD. WORK HARD, BE HONEST, BE KIND AND TRY TO MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER HUMAN BEING THAN FAKE DOCTORS, TEACHERS, ENGINEERS AS WE CAN FOOL AND CHEAT PEOPLE AROUND BUT NOT GOD
NEVER EVER LOSE HOPE AND ATTEMPT SUICIDE ETC" SPREAD THIS MESSAGE THERE IS LOT TO DO IN THIS WORLD, JUST INTERACT WITH OTHERS IF YOU CANNOT FIND A WAY"
BEST OF LUCK
LOVE AND PEACE
