Certainities in Education and Educationists

I have been ruminating about Education in India - the good, the bad and the ugly. Over the last few years, being an involved parent of a 9 yr old in an urban setting has led me to many forums - online and offline, in search of what is best. Needless to say, most of us are trying to work it out....I like to believe sometimes that there is really no science other than mathematics. Everything else has to have some grey, some uncertainty, some doubt.

I sometimes find it difficult to go with very vehement views in education for kids. There has to be a good amount of flexibility in the first place which would eventually lead to inclusion, making space, giving freedom to children, letting go ....all of that. So anyone who has very set views to begin with worries me.

Now with that disclaimer, I am ready to jump in...with all my uncertainties, learning and facilitating the learning in young and old.
