My thoughts I

I wonder how we will all turn out if our education system is not what we know it is. Would we have become what we are today despite the education we received or for that matter would the world be what it is today?

If you think of it, our political, economic and social systems are products of thinkers from their respective disciplines and thus how our lives are shaped was influenced by the schooling that these thinkers received to a certain degree.

Now, if economists think that there is no cost of money, then there would be no interest rate; that would certainly make a significant part of what we know of economics break down. Things would be at their real price of what people value them to be. Now, wouldn't that be a beautiful life?Instead, we have a complicated web of financial and economic systems that can ride on something that doesn't even exist as long as someone find it profitable.

Which makes us come to the question of ethics. As a result of secularisation, most schools now are stripped of not only 'religious' practices but even symbols. We try to replace them with moral and civics on a purely abstract level that leaves the spiritual essence of the child empty. Our children are told to leave their beliefs at the school gates and live half their day as a separate social entity.
