Bad Education



What kind of education we deserve? The traditional education that doesn't fit our personas, our visions, our needs, our desires, our aspirations! The education that turns us into a mechanical, rather than organic, beings! Indeed we don't need it nor deserve it. Every individual essentially has a bright side, a side that withholds his unseen, precious and developing skill/s; and how can this side be revealed? Are we to await it to emerge independently, without giving it a push, driving it into light and helping it to erupt? The procedure to completely recognise one's potentially great skills may initiate its launch from home, with the aid of parents and family members, but definitely, unquestionably it flourishes through education. And if educational systems are not sufficient enough to bring to light these skills, what is going to happen? Nothing is going to .. Why? For as long as education shall be built on merely past experiences, unquestioned syllabi, profit-less examinations, ... the true human beings who are meant to be fully developed geniuses will never be born.
So, what shall be done to improvise and top our failures of previous as well as current generations of artificially literate beings? The entire system of acquiring and perceiving knowledge and skills must be altered; future must be foreseen. What kind of life shall occur in the near/far future? Are we still going to be at the same place? Of course not! Future holds changes of its own, and for that humans should be ready. It might be towards the better or the worse; nevertheless, the predictions of how future shall be, should - actually must - be the basis of any educational system. Future dominates the acquiring of knowledge; if education is built upon the past, unfortunately the past is no longer available to adjust; and if it is built on the present, technically present is unknowingly, fastly moving towards the future. So, it is the future that must be the main principle of education.
Still, does that mean the past and the present are not vital? No, they are, extremely. From the past humanity learns the right methods to avoid our ancestors' failures; the past is the oblivious educator; a wise human being never forgets about the past, but transforms it into a bulk of information the entire human race - and other species - can benefit from. Then, what about the present? The present, already arrived, cannot be redeemed but a few portions of it. Certain parts of the present are meant to survive, yet others are not. Henceforth, by combining both the past and the present, the right formula of the formation of a decent education system could possibly erupt.
