What Has Happened to Education?

Parenting is not an easy job. You learn through your experiences every day

In today's world all are running behind Marks. No one consider how much students understood or having capacity or not.

Yes, great but in today's time teacher and students both are not serious about education and wasting time and money both..

Students are not learning at the level they should be. Computers and technology has replaced teachers and textbooks are being replaced with iPads and school libraries are being eliminated all together

Picking a part from @Rahul "If we go and tell a student to study for excelling in a subject, but not marks, they will give a laugh and rejects the idea outwardly. The parents also do the same. And of course you can’t even initiate this topic to institutions. It’s considered as a taboo." This is happening in an every house.

Wow @Rahul that is some great information, thanks for sharing. Yes I agree @Otilia the internet has played a big part in how teachers instruct students as a tool but as you mentioned it is the student who should learn to use critical thinking to make proper decisions.

Education at present has adapted to teaching using both classroom and virtual environment. Teachers teach students how to learn, how to use the information they get in order to create personal opinions, projects and to communicate. There is one thing that students haven't understood: to develop their critical thinking and creativity to convey their ideas, and not to search the internet for each and every simple item and have it ready to use.

Hi, I am sharing little brief info about Indian education system,i hope this helps.
Indian Education System - What Need To Change

Our Education System Is Only Focused On Exams. Knowledge Is Not A Priority!
The general education system is focused only on examinations rather than training students for the future and really testing their knowledge. Because of this, students are forced to take tests that show only their retention powers, not their actual capacity or kno

nothing has changed it depends on the students

The curriculum or syllabus or teachings are mostly exams driven.

some Teachers are doing a good job in the school but it up to the kids to get that education

Look at what this has done to the wonderful and exciting world of books...hardcover, hardly any pictures in them....books. Imagination is now dependent not on what you see within your mind (if you have one left), but what you invent with your graphics app. I love technology; I am grateful for technology...many people are alive or healthy today because of technology. It is just that in the school it is too rampant.....human interaction is suffering.

There are plenty of self-learning classes that we can take online that is great especially for specialized training.

It's CONSUMERISM:
"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking. They want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation." (George Carlin)
... BECAUSE ...
"The goals of corporate consumerism require that we accept its values, that we fail to seek better alternatives, that we reject the possibility of finding better alternatives ('psycho-babble'), that we fail even to see the existence of a problem to

I think that learning process of anyone is strong, if their base is strong but reason that teacher who teach the student are not interest today...true, and student also not to care about due to one reason may be that they hear that after completing and taking good education not easy to get employment. So today education system is totally different if student really wants to gain knowledge and study no one can stop.

Today's education system has become too weak because people are almost taught to become job seekers than makers and also the weaker and relaxed school administration makes students also weak to and expect everything on silverplate

In the long run, when we rely too heavily on this new age of technology, we are hurting our future as human beings. Simple logic is deteriorating at an alarming rate....even cursive writing isn't being taught! Dexterity, brain exercise, logic, persistence, individualism....it is terrible the things that are lost with that one item (and this list is only part of the losses involved!). We can program computers...with the aid of other machinery....when the electric goes out, or the 'connection'
