unlearning

Unlearning is what we do in school nowadays.
A toddler is full of curiosity. Life with a 3 year old is full of questions. Why does the insect have a light (that was a glowworm) ? Then there was the question I had to answer everyday at bath time."what happens to this water you poured on me just now? Where does it go?" Then we put them in school.
Life in KG:-You have to stand in a line in kindergarten. You get a smack on the head if you don't. Have you ever seen a queue of adults at the post office or railway station? The line is as crooked as the proverbial drunken sailor's walk. Then why must 4 year olds know when tehy are not in line? How will they? You have to stand outside the line to be able to see that the line is crooked. Then why the smacking?
You must colour inside the lines. You must write between the lines. You must sing along with everyone else...it's endless.
If you ask why, you are the class villain. After a few attempts at asking why, you stop. Even the most tenacious child stops asking questions by class 1.
Did you ask why our science education is not good?
