Let's Lose The Black Board. - A Crucial Analysis on Classical Education

"Where are we heading?" This question is now being posted in every front of national development. We hope the following press release from homeworkeasy.com will throw some light on the on the going educational crisis in the country in detail.

San Jose, CA (prHWY.com) November 23, 2010 - Stories, paper Mache models, home work and exams are they really helping students to face life or just figments of a timed out dogmatic schooling method?

The answer to this question will be clear if we look closely into competency level of our American students without any prejudices. An average 11th grader is an incompetent writer and cant answer the exact year of the WWII or the Civil War (according to a Washington Post article titled "The Cheerful Ignorance of the Young in L.A." October 3, 1983, by Benjamin J. Stein.)

The Classical Education System has its base in very strong trio of grammar, logic and rhetoric. Here the grammar does not mean the rules of a language but the language itself or getting trained in the means of understanding the future subjects the student is going to learn and the world around him. Subsequent to which logic is placed. Here the student learns to argue and analyze the facts in any specific subject he chooses. Thirdly rhetoric is the art of communicating what he had learnt, effectively. If we place the medieval classical education into this frame work the reason for the situation in the above paragraph would be understood. We have lost the original uses of the old method of learning and we are not ready to design and adapt new methods of learning as well.

Imagine a student eager to learn science to be specific-Chemistry. All that she can do is look at the black board learn some equations by the rote. If this doesn't quench her thirst for knowledge and if she expresses the same to her teacher then she is called rude. This incident happened in a public school in LA. IN fact she was sent out of school. If this is the way in which the learner is treated then the system of education is falsifying its basic promise of helping the student to learn.

If the dreary facts of life are replaced by useless paper Mache models, then the whole learning will happen outside the schools and GOD KNOWS WHAT our youngsters would pick up. We have placed our society's future in a great danger of vanishing like chalk marks on the black board upon which the education system is being built. If we fail to teach our children in the right way the global business arena will teach them in the hard way.

R.W.Emerson stated, "The secret in education lies in respecting the student." This will make the student respect the education in turn. Let us not sleep with a pleasant dream of being an overfed developed nation and wakeup to face a nightmare of an incompetent generation. If the learning interest of a rigorous student is not quenched by his education, it will find expression in ways which are dangerous to him and the society as well. America as a nation has faced and overcome many economic and political crises.

The solution in its entirety lies in creating learning tools using the same digital technology that entertains in the form of movies and games but to create virtual learning class rooms. Lessons should be replaced with presentations. The students' questions should be respected instead of his memorizing ability and schooling must become a living experience rather than a boring but an inevitable part of life.
