The education system

No one likes to mug up off the wall theories that they can't understand. So a lot of people (bless them) have raised their voices against the prevalent education system, saying that the subjects should be taught in such a manner, that children take great interest in them. For example they should be taken to the museum for learning History or taught the subject like a story, instead of the teacher reading out from the text book and burdening them with notes! Do you agree? Would you like to perform experiments everyday and learn a subject in an interesting manner instead of just sitting with your book and cramming your head with dull black and white details?? Let us know your opinion! Plus a poll to see how much you love exams!

Looks like we've voted for the same options!! Well, it's natural for our thoughts to match, after all we are in the same boat and best friends!!!

I don't have any problems with the other subjects except for the BIG(syllabus wise) 3:

1. English Literature- This is a good subject but it would have been better had there not been any 'Silas Marner'... WB board had changed the Syllabi of the other subjects to meet the mordern day demands...I bet they had forgotten about English Literature... Silas Marner as a story book is undoubtedly excellent but I'd prefer something else(an perhaps something psychologically simpler) to Silas Marner for Examinations!!

2.Geography-Too much to study about India and Asia....I have a good mind to remind the Board peple that there's a huge world Outside the Asian Landmass which would also be interesting for us to study!!

3.History-um.....um.....well...NO COMMENTS!!

studies are fun when i solve maths, its fun when i do physics or chemistry experiment or read something interesting from other reference books, its fun too to bisect cockroaches and lizards and observe different animals and insects and plants.

reading stories like silas marner in english and bengali literature is something which i love.

Same here! It's not like I hate studies, but sometimes they get on my nerves, the "conventional" way they're taught. I wish we could study any four subjects that we liked. It would make things easier for us, but noooo the authorities just have to make you suffer and grumble. What pleasure do they get out of it, making us suffer?? Personally I feel they should assess us in literature through some other means like asking OUR opinions on a piece of literaure or a composition, instead of forcing us to stuff our heads with silly ready made answers, garnished with a lot of garble . But I've noticed that people aren't fond of being literary critics, they like to copy and paste other people's work, not think for themselves. But these days, the questions have become a bit critical, though they some are so critical now,that it becomes difficult. So literature will always be a probem!!
In language the things are okay, but vocabulary quizzes would make it a lot more fun.
About science, they should go for applications instead of asking us to state laws. That way we'll be made to think, and not mug.
Geography is okay, but it could have been better. And for history , we should be taught in the same manner that scholastic presents it in its "dead famous" series. Try reading some of these books, and you'll really love history.

I agree with Ishita about our syllabus.
In fact ,all should learn from Paulami...any freetime she gets she starts scribbling and solves maths problems in such huge way that probably even Einstein would be scared.
I hate the Unit test system...it's just like the board feels that we are guineapigs of their experiments.

hahaha einstein scared of me!!! not even from one cell of the eye!!!

Good point sruti- we really know how to waste our free time don't we?? and also I too think the board is conducting too many experiments on us, and its definitely hampering my studies. And if anyone thinks this is an odd time to reply, then I'm sorry, this is the time I usually log in!!!
