So what is real education all about.

This is a question that is yet to find an answer. At least this is the impression I get when I see people ,read 'researchers' ,who spend a lifetime or more exploring books ,and still are as far away from the truth , as we are from the moon.The reason I say so is because, their instinct and intellect which has ironically convinced them to try and make things as complex as possible.

There are different parameters which could possibly be used to scientifically analyse data and then publish lengthy reports which to a well meaning layman might seem an endless array of all kinds of words, diagrams and charts. I am not against scientific temper, but if it tempts you to allow yourself to be taken captive by worthless intricacies, nuances and jargon, thereby ignoring the aesthetics of simplicity, it's not a great choice.

There are myriads such reports and the educational status quo is still as bad as ever. An improvement of a few percentage points over decades doesn't qualify to be called an achievement. what they seem to have forgotten is that sometimes simple common sense, a simple solution might just provide the most viable solution and using complex tools might just go in vain.

cheers!!
