Schools must impart purposeful education that aim at the overall outcome in each student.
LEARN:
This stage is of seeking and acquiring wherein a child would LEARN how to learn and understand the overwhelming information shoved at her/him from various sources both formal and informal.
It is to be noted that learning is not restricted to classroom or school. Children actually learn everything every time from everywhere be it home, school, playground, street or whatever; they learn whether it's good or bad. Therefore, even more important than teaching or teaching how to learn,is that we help them think and analyse so that they differentiate between what's good and what's not and learn appropriately.
While doing so, everything that has to be learnt in this phase should seem natural, seamless and integrated. Therefore, whether it is valued for the heart or health for the body, they should all be considered part of the curriculum and presented just like math, science or language for the mind. The key is to carefully define each subject individually with its own objectives but design syllabus in an inter-disciplinary style so that various disciplines/subjects refer toeach other and represent an integrated whole of education to be learnt. Faith-based schools must also address spiritually and caterto the soul by helping students learn how to pray and realize the true spirit of being a human by unconditionally submit to the Almighty.
And as far as values are concerned, they are not taught rather caught by the children from the ones they love and respect. Therefore, it's imperative that the value system is not just spoken but implemented by everyone who works in the school from principal to peon and parents need to be kept in the loop at all times.
Select the most appropriate meaning if the phrase ' kept in the loop'
