To make learning meaningful , students need
Coaches , not teachers
Formative tests, not exams
Micro-credentials, not marks
Freedom to follow their curiosity, not a rigid curriculum
Peer-to-peer learning , not tuitions

The “jungle gym” has replaced the “ladder” as the metaphor for a career.
Your actual skills, work product, and personal network have become more important than degrees or a resume.

You will need to accumulate new skills over the course of your career and be opportunistic in acquiring them.
In today’s world, this means taking a path that is often nonlinear and untraditional.

Reinventing job hunting.
Making a career is trying out something which interests you, learning some skills, putting tools into your toolkit, going to the next place and putting a few more tools in, until finally, you have all of the tools to build your own house.

Smart people who are secure about themselves love to hire and be around other smart people.
Individuals who are easily threatened , hire nonthreatening individuals , who add less value to the business as a result.

Being around smart people who love to get things done makes you smarter and more able to get things done.

Ideas are cheap. Implementation is expensive

Coaching classes add insult to injury by burdening children. They pressurise them to cram for exams just to score more marks

We all agree the education system is broken, and that kids don't learn anything useful because of the obsession with exam marks and an outdated syllabus . So why do we make a bad situation worse by trapping them in tuitions ? Isn't the school classroom bad enough ?

China will beat India because they have banned coaching classes and tuitions . They are playing the long game by encouraging children to think for themselves, rather than outsource their thinking to tuition teachers.

Why is the older generation so disrespectful of the younger generation ? Do they feel threatened by their superior technological skills ?
