Our education system - good enough?

Right from childhood we are told to perform better, try to secure first rank in the class and so on. The point I like to make here is our individual performance is what get noticed. Even teachers pay more attention to top rankers in the class. And this is the reason why from the very beginning we learnt to concentrate on individual performance rather than performing as a group/team. There is a least amount of team work we get involved in during our school days. At least this is what I have seen in my school and I assume this is what happens in most of the schools across the country.

But once we are into the corporate world everyone expects us to be a good team player, a team player to the core.

Now my question to the society is: Is there something wrong with our education system?Is there something wrong with the way we are brought up? Is there anything we can do in this regard?

Yes, a lot problem is there with current education.Its just teaching how to earn money and nothing more. First of what is needed is ethical values. We all have witness why so many youngsters are suiciding in all developed countries although they are ll rich enough. So we are simply travelling in a superfast train, without knowing inwhich direction we are moving and without questioning ourselves, whether the train is going to the desired destination...!!!
As long as ppl and the system realizes this there is no question of success in the system, although temporarily it may seem so...!!!

Well, I believe u r correct. But the whole world is divided in two stream of thoughts.
Individualistic and Group oriented.
If u r inclined to align with a grup, u dont have rights enf to criticise the individualistic approach. Kill me if I dont perform. But If I perform, u r gonna fked up.
The failure of america in todays world is bcos it left its individualistic approach to adopt a more stinking social approach.

Hail Individualism
