Sai Ram to all

hought of sharing the following small story with you all
Board-Based or Broad-Based Education?
Some animals in a forest decided to start a school. The students included a
bird, a squirrel, a fish, a dog, a rabbit, and a mentally retarded eel. A board
was formed and it was decided that flying, tree climbing, swimming and burrowing
would be part of the curriculum in order to give a broad-based education. All
animals were required to take all subjects.
The Bird was excellent at flying and was getting 'As’ but when it came to
burrowing, it kept breaking its beak and wings and started failing. Pretty
soon, it started making 'Cs’ in flying and of course in tree climbing and
swimming it was getting 'Fs’. The Squirrel was great at tree climbing and was
getting 'As’, but was failing in swimming. The Fish was the best swimmer but
could not get out of the water and got 'Fs’ in everything else. The Dog did not
join the school, stopped paying taxes and kept fighting with the administration
to include barking as part of the curriculum. The Rabbit got 'As’ in burrowing
but tree climbing was a real problem. It kept failing and landing on its head,
suffered brain damage, and soon could not burrow properly and got 'Cs’ in that
too.
The mentally retarded Eel, who did everything half as well became the
valedictorian of the class. The board was happy because everybody was getting a
broad-based education.
But - Broad-based education really means is that the student is prepared for
life, without losing their areas of specialization or competence.
