Education

Today I watched two videos that representing two different thoughts about education. Most of all a liked the idea of Sugata Mitra, I want to dedicate this post to his idea of school in the cloud. You can follow this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3jYVe1RGaU&x-yt-ts=1422579428&x-yt-cl=85114404#t=1330 and make your own conclusions.

The basement of his theory is that education standards are obsolete. They were created 300 years ago in the times of British Empire. Nowadays, all have right to education but many children have no access to education. Mr. Mitra says that decision is as easy as ABC. The aim of education is not to create bookworms, which will have their noses in a book in order to pass their exams excellent. The task is to encourage students to work for knowledge, not for grades. Educational system that exist now produces identical people, as a result, they do identical job and make next generation of identical people.  Cloud school offers more creativity. It does not mean that you can skip classes or sleep during lessons. The accent is made on practise. All of us need practise to improve our skills. Experience come with practise too. Undoubtedly, practise makes perfect. You can ask someone who achieved success in some sphere of life, and I am sure, he/she will tell you that it takes years of practise. The only way to practise your skills at school is homework. When you do your homework and then correct it with your classmates, you get enormous benefits and your final marks will be good even without revising before exam.

Just to compare ideas of two videos
