So What is it?

While I was looking for the purpose of education, sitting back and analyzing  today's session, I realized how could people really think so deep. Wondering what I am talking of?
Pondering over last few thoughts that crossed my mind about education was not only necessary to satisfy but need to fill it. It’s like a hungry person seeking food……
When a major discussion lead to an understanding of what role a government or state principles play in forming the curriculum more than a child’s needs or teachers understanding it has let me to a major question that hasn’t yet been resolved!
Am looking deeply, trying to understand as to what we want of school to do? Is it to fulfill the child’s expectations, seek parent’s wish fulfillment? Is it the job perspective? Or are we just looking at it as being literate individual.

    So this is it......
    An unexplored mind is like a xerox copy and not a painting.
    Education is to make one disciplined, but needs to be fueled with freedom of mind, strength to explore.
    Had not for the explorers, the world would still be the notion of other village behind the mountains.
    Most educationist would say it as TALENT, I do say it as FREEDOM and FREEWILL.
    The most thought free people in history are often the most disciplined and open- minded.
    Explore something more beyond curriculum and education, Most billionaires of 19th century and still continuing are drop-outs or educationally uneducated.
