Problem to solve a problem?

Is it the education system which is hard or whats happening? That’s the question which is disturbing me in my mind right now. but why…?.

Secondary school students are sticking and burning their school properties carelessly. Not even baring in mind the burden they put upon their parents. They don’t even understand the time they waste arguing out their problems through this primitive way. Is this the only way they can solve a problem really?.

The worst happened just last month when students in Tala high school burnt their dormitory. Many students got burn injuries and even others got some injuries as they were trying to escape the inferno. One of the student died in the fire breakout. Yes, i have experienced school strike in my former high school but thank God it didn’t go to this extent. Minor casualties used to happen but of course it was given very little attention by the media, our parents and our “enemy” the administration.

I’m Thinking… why do students have to take this lane in raising an alarm on a problem?. Who’s the person to blame? Who should bare responsibility to this whenever it happens.

I think the students do wrong but at the same time maybe they’re communicating sometime in their most effective way. maybe they do this as a way to draw full attention from the relevant authorities for an action to be taken. They just have to behave silly for them to be recognized.

I will blame the administration of respective schools of not listening to the students grievances. Otherwise, if maybe they listened to them, less of this would be happening. I will recommend to the administration schools to be listening  to the students’ problems and handling them professionally and careful in order to curb future massacres like these we have experienced before.

The government too should be aware of whats happening in schools. Set rules on management of schools which will improve or create effective communicate between the school administration and the students. Together we join hands, together we happily succeed. problem doesn’t solve a problem rather it adds to a bigger one.

Are you educated or learned?

Being educated  and learned are tottaly different aspects but closely related. What do i mean?  Education is just the routinely the obvious thing  which everyone can do. It involves just going to school, attending lecturers doing the assignment and so forth. I just mean being in school full time for a “reason”.

Very different. Being learned  simply means acquiring the education and putting it in practice. I mean its acquired concept in life. in other words, the application of education.

Its better to be learned than being educated. A learned person is able to use his/her mind in various instances and is able to manage different situations. An educated person may face some difficulties to manoevour similar situation.

Being learned is an important aspect but its very much important  by being educated because it counts much on the creativity of the application o f the “learned” concept.
