ContraMinds’ Post

💡 "Cracking standardized exams is not a measure of success in education. It does not prepare students for the real world. The Indian education system was designed for an industrial age that no longer exists. Today's world needs people who can handle ambiguity and chaos, not just ace exams." 💡 🎙 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🎙 (Links in first comment) Here's Sivaraman Swaminathan's fascinating conversation with Sai Gaddam on the ContraMinds podcast that that'll make you think about education differently! 🤔 Sai who co-wrote the book "The Journey Of The Mind" with Ogi Ogas stresses that while we're all obsessed with grades and rankings, we might be missing the bigger picture. He shared how his micro-school Comini Learning is flipping the script - instead of forcing kids through standardized tests, they're focusing on nurturing curiosity and critical thinking. Here's a vital takeaway - learning is like exploring a vast landscape. Some kids might be into music, others into math, and that's perfectly fine! The key isn't to force everyone down the same path but to be "guides on the side" rather than "sages on the stage." 🌟 What do you think? Are we ready to reimagine education for a world where ChatGPT can ace our exams but can't replace human creativity and critical thinking? Watch the episode and let us know in the comments.
