The point that spoke to me is the fact that schools use an outdated system of assessment. It fails to focus on the mindset, skill set and character, but instead rewards you on how much you can mug-up. I have seen many school toppers who are just ‘nobodys’ now, and kids who used to be reprimanded due to bad grades acing in life.
The need of the hour for schools in my opinion, is not just to focusing on penalising the Goldfish cause it couldn’t climb the tree, but instead to help identify the strengths and talents the child has been gifted with.

I agree with this approach: Mindset -> Skillset -> Character.
It’s like a transformation from self-development to contributing to the community.
