Assignment No.3

Greetings,


      Today, the current education system in most of the big countries is considered as a failure. Many people that are interested and specialised in education think that communities don't give the needed attention to their children and therefore it will lead to a bigger crysis than we have already had.

      As Sir Ken Robinson spoke out about the failure that the current education system possesses, today's education system leaves no option to students to choose their own profession on their own. Despite what the potential technology offers, the education system kills the creativity that children have. For example, let's say a child has a talent for dancing and wants to be a dancer in the future. But he is brutally asked to study maths, physics and the other areas that are not relevant to dance. The child has to study physics and maths because his/her parents want him/her to do so. As the child starts to study, his enthusiasm towards dancing slowly dies as well. In the end, the child would most probably find himself/herself in the middle of a situation in where he/she wouldn't want to live.

      As a university student, I feel that I am more free to do whatever I want to do. I feel free because I chose my department and I don't feel any heavy  burden on my shoulders to struggle with. However, I wasn't free when I was a student in high school. I was forced to study to pass the university entrance examination and that was an enormous burden that keeps me away from what I wanted to do. Moreover, I am not the only one who find this system unpleasant. Most of the secondary school students hate this system and want another system which gives more personal interests to their profession.

      As the very root of our civilisation, you, as parents, should let your children to choose whatever they want  and like. In my opinion, after doing some talent tests, these are the tests that are aimed to find the talent in which our children possess the most, to our children, you should lead them to their best with the support of their will. With this stimulation, you can actually save your children as well as the future.
