Answer:
No creative learning!
If a teacher says A, student has to read it A. And if a teacher says B, student has to read it B. He is not taught and made courageous enough to question this A: how is he gonna use in his life and what happens if he changes its shape? As he is told to read it A, so should he read it A.
My kids were once playing with blocks. As their school assignment was counting, I just picked up few blocks and told to count them. Then I constructed with them a house of blocks and asked to count the number of blocks according to their color used in that construction.
Similarly, once my kid had to spell cat in his school assignment. I asked him to write the spellings on his tab and see what images come. He did it with interest. And then I shown him a cat while taking him outside to the park.
This kind of learning that explores practical avenues and enable the kids to solve the complex problems are missing in Pakistani schools except few elitist type which still are not as good as they should be. Only they are charging high prices.
Unfortunately, we are unable to get rid of high marks notion. We want that our children should score high in matriculation and afterwards. But we don’t bother to see how good is our child socially and what is his attitude towards real life problems.
