India has a relatively advanced education system in the region. India has a literacy rate of 74 percent which is better than Pakistan's 57 percent but significantly less thanSri Lanka's literacy rate of 92 percent. OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses. The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc.

I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility. "What happens when you have a board that can self-appoint itself, and it becomes insular, and with a $53 billion endowment, they think, okay, we can just do whatever is on our mind." (Reporting by Svea Herbst-Bayliss with additional reporting by Gram Slattery and Jarrett Renshaw Editing by Marguerita Choy) Harvard responded that the administration letter doubles down on demands that would impose "unprecedented and improper control" over the university and makes new threats to "illegally" withhold funding for lifesaving research.

American students are products produced on an assembly line rather than individual works of art crafted by caring designers. Students attend institutions wired with the information that has been superficially declared important for them to know. If the students can retain and recreate the information correctly they go to the next station on the assembly line. That is not how education should be and I plan on educating students differently. I feel that education will be better in my classroom; it will be like finger painting, much like how I learned to ride a horse.

Education and finger painting are the same. This most basic form of artistic creation is made up of the handprints of children. Although each child posses a handprint that may look similar to others at first, everyone has their own unique handprint. Finger painting cannot be done wrong. Everyone's art is different but it all has its good characteristics and is valued. To many adults a finger painting may look small and insignificant, but it is a base for the child to grow upon. Finger painting can be done alone or by several people.

The outcome of finger painting can vary greatly just as can the outcome of education. Education doesn't need to be a precision manufacturing process, where the students produced are expected to be identical in appearance, personality, and performance. Diversity should be encouraged and unique talents cherished. When I think of the greatest epiphany I've ever had I think of the process I went through learning to ride a horse.

When I first rode a horse I was nervous and stiff, tutoring services for elementary students near me worried about performing the correct actions in the desired order to achieve the perfect outcome. After four lessons I loosened up. I began to work with the horse and read the horse's body language. There came a day when I realized that horse riding is about a unity between the horse and rider, and now riding is a very natural thing for me.
