Aneesh Bangia Taking a leisurely stroll through the syllabus might sound like a nice idea, but when it comes to education, time is of the essence. Teachers have a responsibility to cover the necessary material within a limited timeframe to ensure that students receive a comprehensive education. It's not about rushing through content but rather managing time efficiently to provide students with a well-rounded learning experience. Similarly, in the real world, deadlines are like non-negotiable contracts. Examiners aren't trying to snatch away test papers to be mean; they're preparing students for the inevitable time constraints they'll face in their future endeavors. Life rarely offers extensions or extra time, so learning to manage time effectively during exams is a valuable skill that goes beyond the classroom. Navigating through the syllabus briskly doesn't mean sacrificing depth; it's about efficiently managing time for a comprehensive education. Teachers bear the responsibility of covering essential material within a limited timeframe. The urgency in education mirrors life outside the classroom, emphasizing the importance of deadlines and time management. I'd like to share a personal example. I remember enrolling in a DOEACC A level computer class, paying in advance, and attending regularly for three months. However, the class's slow pace made the sessions seem repetitive, causing me to lose interest and eventually drop out. This experience highlighted the fact that each student learns at their own pace. While an educational approach may seem beneficial, it can backfire for some students. I understand and appreciate your point about the need for a more flexible education system. Yet there is a critical issue of individual pacing. Each student learns at their own speed, and a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach can lead to disengagement. It's evident that a shift from the rote-based, memorization-heavy system is overdue. Revamping the education system is a complex task, but it's essential. While we aim for a more progressive approach, the reality, especially in India the most poulous nation, is that exam results often remain the primary differentiator. Balancing individualized learning with the demands of standardized testing requires thoughtful reforms and a broader societal shift in defining success in education. It's a journey toward a system that accommodates varied learning styles while preparing students for the challenges of the real world.

Too often school timetables can end up being scrambled together, resulting in errors and a lack of consideration for the needs of the people it is organising. 🤯 But how can schools get the art of timetabling right? ✔️ How to get organised for school with an efficient timetable https://lnkd.in/e8JUsura

Why is there a hurry in schools? Just like a deemak (termite) which makes a wood hollow, this 'hurry' makes learning hollow. Examples: - Teachers are in a hurry to finish the syllabus - Examiners are in a hurry to snatch test papers from the hands of students This mindless hurry is making many children incapable of deep thinking! Dear teachers and examiners -- please slow down. It takes time to understand every concept that you are trying to teach. Please let children explore a topic from all possible angles. If children learn deeply, they will learn to learn deeply. They will grow up into adults who will go deep into anything that they choose to pursue. If not, then children will grow up into adults who will not know what 'going deep' is like. How does Open Door help? We help teachers in making children think deeply using the power of questions. Open Door's Thinking Assessments: - are important speed breakers for the teachers. They help teachers in slowing down, and remediating before moving to the next topic - help children in exploring a topic from many angles - have no time limit specified on the assessment. This allows children sufficient time to think through each question. That is why Open Door's assessments are not just assessments. They are a thinking experience that teaches children something new every time.

Does your school timetable need a January makeover? There is still time for us to audit and review your current timetable and use our knowledge and experience to recommend some improvements.

Perhaps you have new staff arriving and a new timetable is needed to make sure they can teach the classes you want them to teach. Whatever the scenario please get in touch to discuss how we could work with you to improve your school timetable?
