Albert Einstein: Hitman Extraordinaire
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education .
Education is a process of wasting half of our life to learn how to waste remaining half of our life.
-Albert Einstein..
A single examination cannot determine a student's ability in a particular subject.
If a student scores less, it means that s/he needs more guidance or needs to put in more effort.
Making students repeat an academic year because they have flunked the final examination is a wrong practice.
A student may not be able to grasp concepts because of the teaching pedagogy and a one-on-one discussion can help identify the weaknesses.
The system should be flexible enough to allow students to drop a subject if they are not interested in it. Clearly, if a student keeps failing in a particular subject, it implies that s/he has no aptitude or inclination for the same.
A multipronged strategy needs to be in place where all students should receive personalised attention and case-specific guidance.
Flexible systems that are in-sync with a student's interest and abilities can help tap a student's potential better.
Failing in a subject or an examination is clearly not the end of life. Everyone has weaknesses and strengths. It is extremely important that our educational system recognises this.
