The Natural Learner Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
The Natural Learner
my little one used to be
shooting out questions before she joined school
after joining school
she is tamed or trained..i don't know
to answer questions
they are heaped with information
loads and loads of books they carry
information seems buried not sown in her
she is trained to bring it out
as answers to the asked questions
the learners are not expected to contribute back
if the information was sown in them
an intriqued learner would nurture it and
come out with his contribution to the subject
no such thing is expected out of them
THEY JUST BECOME A PRODUCT..AND
EDUCATION A NECESSARY EVIL
I don't know if my child enjoys her studies
i think if not for her friends in school
it would be difficult sending her to school
the natural learner in her...i think
has been put to rest
as products they come out differently
some are proud, arrogant and over confident
some come out feeling inferior..not sure of themselves
competition and marks over seed the subject
why waste fifteen long years just to come out as assesed products
After spending fifteen long years in this ordeal...we say
they are well equipped to survive in a competitive world..may be so
what we truely lose in this ordeal is our 'natural learner'
this world has been made a competitive one by churning out similar products
only if the 'natural learner' starts learning a progressive world would dawn
WHY IS'NT THERE AN EXAM IN WHICH
THE STUDENT IS MADE TO RAISE QUESTIONS?
WHY ARE WE ALL PREPARED ONLY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS?
JUST A SET OF QUESTIONS
[In india we do have the ICSE and CBSE system which to a certain extent
is better with regard to saving the subject...even there the emphasis
on marks and exams would do damage to the 'natural learner']
natural curiosity is suppressed by our education system, its exam oriented and stifles imagination. good wite on a very relevant subject.10 Mamta
The search for knowledge should always be a joy, a joy that should last a life time. Unfortunately some lose this joy by the regimentation of exams. Bob
Natural curiosity seems to have been overlooked in this age of pure technology - - well written expose' here Sam..... and 10 from Fay...
good subject something every country suffers from....all my grand kids go to the private Steiner School....More for the arts..chickens and rabbits in the school. wonderful lets the pupils HAVE their say, and my 15yr eldest one is in the top 4% in the state in maths. +++10 for this natural leaner....regards
u have voiced the questions soo many have had in their minds......soo true....i loved the message........good work.. :)
Very very very nice theam. The message is loud and clear. Though provoking. Fabulous work.
Capturing the present system of education Dipicting the plight of the young learners A good effort to make readers aware Those who got the hints can really help the needy. Good write.
Who is to bell the cat....keeps escaping for decades and decades now...you've spoken out from the hearts of so many affected, afflicted parents...excellent
