“If I teach the way I learned, they will get it. We don’t need this technology stuff. If it was good enough for me it will be good enough for them.”

Teachers and parents need to unlearn and relearn what is learning all about.

Parents temporize their thinking in favour of exams as assessment tools under the influence that schools in the first place believe and rely too much on exams to gauge a child’s ability in learning.
