Of Education

The pursuit of education is an endless one. The purpose of education is to enlighten the human mind. To allow the mental faculties of humanity adequate space to be creatively simulated allowing it to further its growth

In order for this to be achieved education on its own must be captivating and appealing to the minds in which it wishes to shape. Admittedly academia is a venture not many pursue for its pleasures, in actual fact, we are forced and coerced into it, regardless of what the motivating factor may be. Yet we secretly find it pleasing to know that we have learned something new.

The problem that arises is that the curriculum in which education is tailored to cater to the masses. Idealistically, education should be tailored to the specific individuals and targeted to enhance their strengths to compensate for their shortcomings, yet the current status quo is the most realistic venture possible. So now I wonder, what are we to do with those who are a cut above the rest, what are we to do with those individuals whose intelligence quotient is a tad above the rest. Are we to bore them due to the fact that the system fails to stimulate their minds, hence retarding their intellectual growth? Is it their fault that they do not pay any attention in class and we accuse them of ego-centrism. For in the current system we hear child prodigies who slowly disappear and fall into the abyss over time.
What are we to do?
