Did You Also Feel Tired Going To School?
Going to school every day was one of the most tiring experiences I had as a child. And to imagine you have to follow a stipulated table of activities for a year, two years, and more… can be traumatizing too. Sometimes, I felt it’s all about doing what mum wants me to do by coming in the morning, and what aunties and uncles want me to do during the hours in school. The only times I feel myself with myself again is when the jubilation bell rings at launch break, and the final freedom bell at the closing time.
Smiles, right? Yea. Take that for a brief tip into many strands of thoughts to be shared this month. You can share yours in the comment box too. However, let's quickly nib the gist in the bud; follow me...
What We Set Out to Discussing:
Where We May Get It or Miss It.
In this month of June, we observe a topic that is salient in the minds of the young ones; especially the young adults. In any developing society, something determines their growth, and that is their social passion and zest. While it’s technology in Japan, Skills and Trading in China, Knowledge and Crafts in India, and Economy in America; we have hardly had a specific dot of communal prowess in African societies. However, Sub-African spaces can quickly know what is trending per time in their society(s). But schooling finds a salient significance, and we may not be cognizant of it, or what do you think about this?
Take Africa For Instance?
It is noteworthy that African
states, hardly have long time trends over their national or societal passion,
those things change! This is because these countries are yet developing, and
they are not able to arrive at what they may be holistically known for. Nigeria
for instance, discovered lots of resources (each of which was capable of building
a national identity for her) – stemming from Cocoa to Coal, Gold, and Crude Oil.
Yet, there came a time, when it got debatable that schooling is needed if these
things would ever be maximized. Is this not/not true?
In like-manner, Ghana was not poor
and dependent when they discovered gold. They had discovered this before the
colonial era – which later lauded them as gold coast. Today, lots of changes had
visited their access to what they have through a lot of experiences. The same
thing with many African spaces. However, there is a salient loss of contact
with the basic things that enhance this. Could these include schooling? Could this
be a product of colonialism? Or just human development?
In the House of Chriative minds,
we choose to explore the place of schooling and human socio-practical and economic
development, while observing the intricacies of schooling and the realities surrounding
both the developed and under-developed humans and places.
Why do we remain underdeveloped?
Why do we see an end in the things we are yet to trace through? While we trace
the essence of human development, would we find schooling as relevant or significant?
