Flaws of our educational system.

Well, it's the last college year for me and luckily I have made it through with reasonable grades. Resultantly after all these years of academic education, I haven't been able to deduce a single positive aspect or learning curve in terms of character development, intellectual progression or most importantly practical implementation of the certified curriculum (or should I say enforced). Over the years, I have learnt that the concept of curriculum not only limits the freedom of choice and overall opportunities for knowledge to spread out but also has been the most significant barricade towards the act of creative and practical learning. Never does a specific curriculum of certain subject ensure quality grooming of those seeds that are destined to bear fruits of different tastes and colors. Each requires a different space area of soil and proportion of water to quench their thirst. Realistically, the complexity to each mind, exposure to the overall market place, working of the world and the overall seeping knowledge has granted the domain of profession choosing, a great deal of options to work with. To think that in this era ( the one that is said to have underwent significant modernization) still having the traditional professions of either being a doctor or engineer, is quite outdated and out of order. Yet, since parenting has a lot to contribute to the aspiring and developing young minds, we often come across examples of decision enforcement in terms of opting a profession. The traditional professions are still pointlessly regarded as ones providing a greater good in terms of monetary safe-siding, which is often regarded as the yardstick for respect measurement. When it comes to choosing a profession, career counsellors should surely be consulted to attain a better vision of one's possible compatibility rather than relying upon the trends, traditions and practises based off irrational and pointless conceptions. Also, the fact be taken into account that the purpose of aspiring a profession isn't just financial extension or to improve the standard of living but mental satisfaction and expression of interest be taken into account as well. Now back to the mass failure of the pedagogic sector we have come across all the years, that has hardly ever underwent any significant improvements. The domains associated with education management and think tanks specified for the very purpose to improve the scope of learning, have so far proven to be an epic failure. The material to our convenience over the years have underwent significant changes yet traditional methods of teaching have always prevailed in the overall domain, one that prefers bookish knowledge and cramming over the fruit bearing methodology of conceptual grooming, that has brought forth practical marvel to broaden the scope of research and improvements in scientific fields. Quite frankly, a rote learning conception and standardized testing serves as a limiting agent to the imaginative and cognitive potential of a student but also, is only an assurance to who ever makes a better watchdog or under worker to the stakeholders. A limited set of subjects, degrees based upon traditional grading to certify further promotion in terms of academic progression, has now become an outdated practice. Rather than deeming grades as a yardstick to measure competency based off standardized testing of multiple choice questions where chances being of 25% probability to get each answer correct, be it fluke or luck, some practical way of bringing the most out of an individual's capability be introduced. By no means do multiple choice or everyday testing ensure practical implementation of the theorized knowledge nor has it any role in terms of everyday usage rather it is a pointless formality to teach individuals the act of obedience and order following, making them believe their personal frame of mind is useless.
