hmm undoubtedly one of the finest movies hitting a topic tht has been always close to my heart...... ie kids and the way their uniqueness gets trampled in this world whr a wild rat chase goes on n on n on........
if u have tym..pls read thru this lil post i made ages bak.....
What do moms want?? Scholars in diapers!!
anywys in essence this was all about how kids are forced to do things to finally "fit in" the BIG BAD world........
and i guess the way Aamir Khan has potrayed this aspect was nothing less than commendable......
chck out namesakes aka sam's write up for the same
And then there were stars...
hmm i guess now i should cum 2 the point i wanna make..............(pssst pls ignore my jabberings as its 5am n i am in a desperate need of sleep :P
hmm ok now to the point......
we have all seen the aspect of how kids if they get the ryt kind of teacher can do brilliantly ... ok so we have writtn n thot abt the first n the last part of the sentence............ie abt the child........but how abt changing the subject and luking at the word "teacher"...........
now wat was the best part of the movie.......the essence of it.of course it was ishaan's (darsheel's) brilliance....but luk closely....actually this fct stands out a mile.... the fact that HAD THERE BEEN NO AAMIR KHAN or NIKHUMBH as u knw him in the movie............ISHAAN"S BRILLIANCE WUD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTICED......
So wats the big deal abt tht.........i mean isnt tht kinda obvious........well yeh only i think tht was THE thing Aamir forgot to show....forgot 2 point out........ the fact tht such teachers as Nikumbh are sadly scarce.........
the question tht natuarally arises post this statement is WHY??........ i mean cumon its not tht India or Indians lack the brilliance.............hmm or mayb we cud easily say tht hey its the whole bloody educational system tht we follow in this country that pardon the lingo but....it totally sUcKzzz lyk big tym.............
well yeh u can say tht..........but then i rather wanna luk into an aspect i think the people...ie the common man cud work upon..........n tht is ................be a teacher urself...........
yeh yeh......i mean tht totally........... but knw wat the prob arises here is??......its abt not being able to be just tht.a gud teacher..
cosin our society.....even though ideally we idolize this proffesion (read Guru govind dou khade, kake lagav paay Balihari guru apne, jin govind diyo bataye)
But be honest to urself........how many of u would actually take it up as a first priority??,,...wud u lyk to be called as a 4std or primary school teacher...............n by this i am addressing bth guys n girls......
i dnt think so.....at least with those arnd me.........iv noticed tht if u take up teaching......it usually becums "the last resort" i mean if u arnt able to manage getting into any other "cool" proffession u end up doin a BEd...... now temme wen was the last tym you thot highly of sum classmate of urs who is doing a BEd,...i mean usually its a set thot process tht she/he tuk it cos he is good for nuthing in the other fields.....ryt??
well tht is the root cause of all the other issues tht arise frm our "horrible education system"
its our mindset...the mentality of people that needs to be changed...
i mean if we hand our kids (the lil shining stars) over to those ppl...who tuk teaching as the "last resort" wat wud happn to the growth tht the child has a right to??.......what would happn to the true talent tht each kid has hidden within him/her......its finally the teacher that has to make the child luv and realise his individuality.......
and the worse thing is...tht is the foundation education tht they r getting....
if our foundations are weak...then can u just imagine wat wud happn to all the tall buildings(in this case successful individuals)
i mean think about it....there mightv been only about a million children whose true talents and uniqueness might have been squashed...not unlyk darsheel post Aamir.....
ok so in essence i mean tht even though aamir has shown us the problem.its the path tht hasnt been shown...wat has been shown is bad teachers........wat hasnt been shown is the fact tht these teachers are those people who have chosen teachign as a career as the last resort..............which leads to further failures........maybe not in the rat race..........but failures as individuals..........
i yet again havnt a clue if i got my point across...but i hope i did cos yet again i just wanna repeat this topic is sumthing soo close to my heart..........
oh yeh n last but not the least.........if sum1 is actually very passionate abt teaching he/she usually chooses to be a proffessor in a collg rather than teach a bunch of kids in school....
i just hope sum1 says that i am worng here....cos changing pplz mentality is the toughest challenge ever posed to society
