JK on Schools

"Surely a school is a place where one learns about the totality, the wholeness of life. Academic excellence is absolutely necessary, but a school includes much more than that. It is a place where both the teacher and the taught explore not only the outer world, the world of knowledge, but also their own thinking, their behavior."

-Jiddu Krishnamurti

Read it somewhere and liked it!

I strongly believe schools have just become machines which churn out students ready to join college and eventually the corporate world with absolutely no focus on morals and ethics. Schools have commercialized to such an extent that it just means business, a view we had on colleges 6-8 years back when engineering boomed. If students by any chance get to inculcate good habits and character in the future, its going to be inspite of the school and not because of it.
