"The Academic Treadmill"

Respectful Dedication Prof Alan Smithers, Buckingham University, UK

Nothing will change in the world's education until the right people are persuaded in the right schools! That is the base line of the part of the plan to create a new identity of education. One major tragedy of human existence is that humans are naturally predisposed towards a status quo. And because of this very attribute they all live by their perceptions often preferring them to facts and reason.

The way maths and sciences are taught, the very syllabi , is terrible! Look around you and you will find that majority of the students hate maths and sciences. Look up farther and you will find students favouring computer technology while hating its very foundation which is maths. So the chances of such students ever inventing something in tech, is just about zero. As for arts and it's kin, the world is all airy fairy! The future ahead is preposterously unique.

Student Angel Mother feels that the theorem typified of this kind of future knowledge you all have to grow to master and love. It is "heterogeneous, eccentric store of learning that isn't necessarily useful in life , but delightful all the same. Whereby, reading a single sentence, sometimes, on an unfamiliar subject, would inspire you to delve deeply into it's mysteries".

Absorb everything like a sponge. Don't take notes. Many many times in the future you will thank me!!

As a guiding outline for the world, all I can recommend is that , "there should be no boundaries between fun and education. Like this you can study all the time but never feel it Tread Mill work." As farther support to my line of advise, let me quote to you from Albert Einstein, "The world we have created today has problems which cannot be solved by thinking the way we thought when we created them".

Heretofore, all of you must endeavor to read "Marking the Teacher!". Your guess on the author? Education's future for the entire world, is a crisis of 'the worst magnitude'. Many wishes for you all. GoodNight!
