Well Filled vs Well Formed Mind

In this era of Internet, where any information needed is couple of clicks away, we should work towards developing a well formed mind that is creative and think out of the box. Industrial age education which still is dominant in our society, focuses on filling the mind with myriad of information and set of rules that were needed to create soldiers, assembly line workers etc.

We should stop quizzing our children for random facts and figures and instead guide them to develop skills and consciousness of creative mind. A mind that is original, pure, uncluttered and unbiased. We should teach them how to find information, validate them, question them and derive meaningful outcomes.

Cheers!
