The school system often curbs individual talents. Discuss.
Advertisements
उत्तर
A model answer has been provided for students' reference.
It is strongly recommended that students prepare the answer on their own.
Various points to prove the fact that the school system curbs individual talents are:
Focusses more on memorising facts and data rather than encouraging them to understand concepts and ideas.
Thrust on taking exams rather than focussing on increasing the mental and intellectual aptitude of a student;
The irregular student-teacher ratio makes it impossible for the teachers to provide individual attention to each and every student.
One-to-one interaction with the kids have lessened these days.
Quantity matters more than quality.

Have you forgotten? Don't you know?
We'll say it very loud and slow:
THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ,
AND READ and READ, and then proceed
To READ some more. Great Scott! Gadzooks!
One-half of their lives was reading books!
The nursery shelves held books galore!
Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed,
More books were waiting to be read!
Such wondrous, fine, fantastic tales
Of dragons, gypsies, queens, and whales
And treasure isles, and distant shores
Where smugglers rowed with muffled oars,
And pirates wearing purple pants,
And sailing ships and elephants,
And cannibals crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Penelope.)
