Classroom

I want to go back to being in a classroom. Classroom education should never end if you ask me. I know life teaches a lot outside the classroom, too. But I wish we could go to classes all our lives. Classes with an inspiring teacher, where questions are asked and answers are sought, where theories are stated and examples are demonstrated, where life is simplified on the blackboard and friendships are made effortlessly, the way they are supposed to happen. I love classrooms for the way everyone there is equal and everything being taught is just another lesson. I love that, the homogeneous whole of heterogeneous individuals, the sharing, the discussions, the submergence of egos to the only thirst for learning. Voluntary classrooms, shiny, beautiful subjects of choice that go side by side with regular jobs and life, that is my dream for a better world.

Tulika,

Read 3 posts now. The one about unfulfilled dreams is so realistic. Opposites attracts and that is why two persons with varied nature fall in love. Class room is good but at certain point in life one has to move out.

Take care

I loved classes in school, precisely because of the friendships that were formed in the classroom so effortlessly, and because the frustrating push-pull of adulthood was as yet still unknown....But I wonder how we would do in classrooms as adults, given how different we all have become, and how often we carry around with us huge egos...

Something I want to do as well. I agree, we learn in every experience of our lives but classroom learning is a different kind of learning, more focused and subject centered. Good post!
