The school of the future!<br><br>As you have said, the culture in India is too much concentrating on marks, marks and marks. At least in US after coming here I realized, academics is just one of the parameter to be a successful person. Parents also wont force kids to study, there are happy and will encourage then in what they are good at. I think the basic thinking and culture should change in India. Basically we should be more risk takers! Very good thoughts! The school of the future!

I wonder if you studied my thoughts while writing this...such a coincidence it was. BTW, I could find myself in most of the "lessons" above. I thought marks are everything and studied so hard...I was 1st in the state in 11 th with 98% (Bi.P.C stream), but soon realized dat they dont really matter (when I failed to get through medicine entrance). Then took up Chess along with B.Tech..won few state tourneys., but was forced to stop...(settlement in life??)...finally a Software Engg now...still with same passion to learn n experiment...If you start the school and if age is not a barrier, I shall join dat 4 sure :) Hats off to your school of thought!

I think you liked it, because you know what situation we were facing, same kind of problem arises almost everywhere. So, some steps have to be taken and if we do it at elementary level, it would be best. <br/><br/>Yeah, surly we can add the part about, designing syllabus, freedom of subjects and all. I was trying to convey same in this line 'A student can choose whatever field he likes...' but I feel I was not comprehensive. I did not elaborate on it, because I feel there can't be complete freedom, we have to draw line somewhere, but I don't know where can we draw the line? :( @Tarun
