The education system in our country holds a high value. We are still approaching the traditional education system where students just have to read from books and notes that are provided by their teacher. When students try gaining knowledge from internet references, students are scolded saying, ‘if you can read from the internet, you shouldn’t come to school tomorrow.”
Our education system wants students to become a bookworm. We give so much importance to the academics and theory part. This is what stops students from becoming innovative, independent, and creative. Due to this mindset, many students in our country tend to be bookworms. Being a bookworm is not a bad thing, but being forced to become a bookworm is not done. Children are pressurized to mug up all the lessons in the exam. There is no use in mugging up in student’s futures.
Students should be made to understand the concept rather than mugging the same from the book. This mode of study will be really helpful. Our education system is more into making students bookworms, not scholars. This bookworm approach can be helpful for students to top the exam but, this can limit students to become independent and creative.
Many children are forced to become a bookworm in studies and I don’t think that’s right. Every child has their talent, if students are said to study every time, they will bring good marks in their exam no doubt, but they won’t be able to get good marks in life’s exam. Some students love to read.
You may find my blog wrong because you might feel that I am criticizing bookworms. But NO, it should be clear from the title itself, NOT EVRY STUDENT IS A BOOKWORM. And here, I am talking about being a bookworm in academics, not a book lover in general. In countries, students are forced to become a bookworm and study day and night to top the exam. But not all students are book lovers. When students are forced to only read to become a topper, they will remain backward in their respective talents like playing football, music dance, etc. Some are bookworms while some are not, and that’s okay. When non-bookworms are forced to mug every time, it won’t make them topper because when they don’t have an interest in a mugging, nothing will go in their mind.
So, for those who already are bookworms, it is a great thing. But for those who aren’t bookworms, don’t come into someone's words to become a bookworm. instead of completely trying to become a bookworm, you can try understanding your subjects rather than mugging them up.
