*Respected sir/s,*

*SUBJECT:** CHILDRENS DAY*

*छोटा बच्चा समाज के हमको ना समझाना रे*

*----**meaning* …”*Little child, don't explain to us in the society”*

*On Children’s Day, it is important to recall the famous quote, ‘Child is
the father of man’, which comes from William Wordsworth’s poem ‘My Heart
Leaps Up’. Wordsworth believed that the innocence and wonder children have
for the world are essential for a well-rounded adult life. Thus, any
education imparted by parents or teachers to children might carry a hint of
indoctrination, which is the opposite of true teaching.*

          *ONE** may give them our **LOVE** but not our thoughts, for they
have their own thoughts.  Every story shared with children is often a way
to lower their guard. When we start with, ‘Once a lion met a mouse, and he
said…,’ the listener thinks, ‘Oh, this isn’t real; I can just relax and
enjoy the tale.’ However, within that story is a parable carrying a subtle
message. Stories, fables and folktales are often meant to teach or guide,
yet the line between teaching and influencing is thin. So, could there be a
way for children to learn from parents and teachers without indoctrinating
them to think in a certain way?*

   *YES**, Teachers and administrators should encourage students to think
for themselves, question, and develop rational standards of judgment. *

·        *Teach rational subjects*

·        *Teach subjects that are validated by evidence that is publicly
available and accepted. *

·        *Avoid indoctrinating subjects*

·        *Avoid teaching subjects that are ideologies or **belief systems
that are not known to be true or false.*

·        *Teach moral values in a non-indoctrinatory way*

·        *Teach moral values in a way that **encourages moral autonomy and
educates imaginative minds.*

·       *Recognize children's innate wisdom*

*     CHILDREN have an **innate wisdom* *and wonder that adults often lack.
*

*Be a facilitator of knowledge*

*Teachers and adults can serve as facilitators of knowledge rather than as
its primary source. *

*When **Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev’s** daughter was **12,* *she came home from
school one day feeling upset**. She told him, “**You teach so many people
so many things, but you haven’t taught me anything**.” Sadhguru
replied, “**This
is all you need to know: don’t look down on anybody, and don’t look up to
anybody.”*

          *Often, children aged 11 and above look through us when we try to
teach them something.* *This may be because, in their minds, they can
evaluate prospects almost as a management professional would assess a
corporate entity’s future profit.* *They perform a kind of discounted cash
flow (DCF) analysis, which is a valuation method that helps arrive at an
investment’s current value based on expected future cash flows.
Interestingly, our ‘valuation’ often comes out as zero since we may not
offer anything that interests them or benefits them in the future. For
example, we may not be able to teach them anything about basketball, table
tennis, chess, mathematics, ORIGAMI (**Origami is the Japanese art of paper
folding. In modern usage, the word "origami" is often used as an inclusive
term for all folding practices)** Piano, Tabla, Palaeontology,(**A branch
of science concerned with the life of former geologic periods as shown by
fossil remains**) and dinosaurs unless we are experts in all these
subjects, which is nearly impossible. **Children can easily find
information FASTER on Google than they can get it from us.*

*                 With AI and chatbots entering the picture, indoctrination
and teaching by adults lose their appeal completely. Thus, teachers and
adults can, at best, serve as facilitators of knowledge rather than as its
primary source. John Dewey, a prominent philosopher and educator, saw a
teacher’s role as that of a guide or facilitator rather than an instructor.
The only true teaching is that which allows you to remain free from
indoctrination from anyone, ever.*

*           No wonder then **PINK FLOYD (**architect of major music
movements**)** a hard rock band, wrote decades ago:*

* “We don’t need no education/We don’t need no thought control…Teachers,
leave us kids alone.”*
