His british accent made me believe this even more.....

@Mcquiz91 because most math teachers don't actually teach you proper maths, because they're also taught like that

a simple example, 5x5 is 25 because if there's five fives, it will equal twenty-five, This is how you teach children maths..

Now, when you reach a bit of a higher level like algebra, teachers not wanting to waste their time, will teach How to do it, not because of why it is so

@rh001YT Also, look into "student suicide India" many parents do push their kids too hard. And for a tangental perspective, view the hit movie "Chillar Party" (Hindi withe English subtitles) This is a G rated flick centering around some urban kids aka "Our Gang" - you will see that they have to do their homework. Also you will see that they are kids much like in the West - just kids. (movie is on Netflix).

@rh001YT also "Indira Gandhi Open University" "Loretto School" (at Loretto, older girls teach/tutor the younger ones) "rural education India" ...the rural education tends to be quite lackluster. Also "ndtv marks for sports". The Indian government has invented a slimmed down ipad thingy which it claims will be given to all K-12 students. A couple years back India refused to endorse the super-low cost laptop for 3rd worlders program cuz it was too limited.

@Greenbean950 To research education in India try these google or youtube keywords: "St. Xavier India" "Montessori India" "Don Bosco India" "Catholic schools in India" "Kalinga Instutute of Social Sciences" "Kalinga Institute of Information Technology" "The Doon School" "India Right to Education Act" "Brahmin educatiion". The Catholic/Christian schools teach more Hindu students than their own. Pulbic Schools in India are actually Hindu. All K-12 public or private begin the day with a prayer.

how can we all start out as genius....i thought you have to be smarter than others to be a genius

[moralreef]

i suppose in a perfect world what i'd like most is a promised, free period of research, study or education that anyone could pursue at a university or college, and take up at any time. i miss academia and i wanted longer, but there are some things only a world of work and maturity can provide before you can get back into the books.

i honestly believe now if i were to go back and do an MSc/PhD in computer science, i'd make some meaningful impact on a community that i could truly be proud of.

@fanthor You make a very good point.

[Greenbean950]

@rh001YT I have only a limited familiarity of the Indian/South Central Asian history. Do you have any resources to recommend for their education systems?

[Greenbean950]

@rh001YT anything but fair. We currently produce millions of illiterate, albeit expensive high school graduates every year. That's "fair" in America these days. Absent the taxes currently used to pay for schools and the charity that would replace the current system, a student could get a much better education in a free market system. Perhaps not the 12 years of incarceration we currently mandate, but something much more useful. And, liberty would be placed at the hands of the people.
