People often live with pre-conceived thoughts about a concept, about a person, about a situation. I often wonder how many of such people ever question about why a particular notion is there in their mind. It is seldom a challenge for these people to accept people and the situations with open-mindedness. This also becomes a bottleneck situation for their evolution and development.
No wonder, people who cross their middle-age are not receptive to new thoughts and ideas. It is also a contriving situation for all those who have to bear the consequences of this rote thinking. Rote thinking like rote learning is based and fixed on a particular flow line. There is no deviation or change acceptance.
I remember, how CBSE had to actually struggle to get acceptance for new Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system. Many senior teachers and professors had actually thrown tantrums to implement this new concept in teaching. But in reality it had brought a breakthrough cutting edge change in the teaching and the evaluation pattern.
After a significant research I feel it has changed the complete scenario of the Indian education system. The teachers are now concerned about the overall development of the children and hence they are regularly evaluating the children through Formative and Summative Assessments (FAs and SAs).
Same is the fundamental driving principle of life. Over a period of time, the traditional ways and means become obsolete. They have to evolve with the changing times and it has to accommodate the current generations capabilities and expectations. We really cannot live with the obsolete technology and hence the obsolete thought process is also a strict no-no. So, let's pledge to be receptive to the changes and adapt to the new upcoming evolutions. After all, these things are bound to make our children happy and they would really be pleased if we do not take them back by 100 years in the time machine!!
