Are schools making children better behaving humans

Schools and school curriculum create unnecessary tension and strain in children; competition and drive for excellence are making children very serious looking individuals devoid of happiness and basic behaviour. The curriculum tend to promote regimentation with military discipline, uniforms, insistence on obey of rules and so on; children's natural talents and behavior are killed. They are made emotionally impoverished and little stress is given for improvement of positive emotions and promoting self esteem and individuality.

Class leaders are given task of writing down names of students who talk in the class while the teacher is away. This is inculcation of negative attitude towards friends rather than promotion of leadership qualities. Instead of teaching kids to love one another negative emotions like jealousy, hate and inferiority complex are promoted.
