Question

The prevailing education system does not focus on individual talents. Comment reference to the lesson 'Albert Einstein at school'.

Answer 1

Albert was in school for five years. He had a tough time in school and focused on the loopholes in the prevailing education system.

• According to him, there's no place for individual dreams, creativity or aptitude in the current education system. It discourages creativity and originality and fosters mechanical dullards or the so-called 'ordinary' students.
• The current system puts emphasis on facts and dates and not ideas. It ignores originality and creativity, leading to progress and evolution.
• In the current situation, by cramming, most of the students manage to pass the exam, rather than learning things by heart and repeating them in the exams.
• The parrot like learning or studying without comprehension may be helpful in obtaining the diploma but does not enrich the mind or instill ideas.

Answer 2

Answer:

School nowadays is about memorizing a bunch of facts and spitting them back out on a test or exam. There is no learning involved, just memorization. Students should be taught things of importance. The grading system is messed up too. How can you grade something on creativity? You can't. Albert Einstein said "Everyone's a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing it is not worth"
