Agrawal Classes - an iconic educational brand
2011-02-27 08:25:00 In every one's life there lay a turning point that changes the course of one's life journey. My life had many such moments but first such event that set others to follow was an 'Admission to Agrawal classes' at Harganga Mahal at Dadar TT. Those days admission to Agrawal classes was more important and prestigious than securing an entry to university affiliated college. They would announce qualifying bench mark for admission. You fill up the form, pay the fees and get enrolled. What was that magic formula that made Agrawal classes so successful? I can think of few. They never taught fundamentals of any subject nor did they make any attempt to let student assimilate the purity of a subject. Instead they went on solving questions. The basics were automatically unfolded during the solution that was explained step by step. The objective was simple : Get good grades than burn your energy on overall knowledge. They had mastered the weaknesses of examination paper setters - of being lazy...

Thaddeus Mensah was one of my unfortunate victims a few weeks ago. Mr. Mensah's from Sampa, Ghana (below). He and his friend Alex Obroni run a charity in Ghana called Sampa Community Educational Project, Thaddeus here in the US and Alex in Ghana. They build schools and do other good works. My view on foreign charity: Generally speaking, a dollar to a person in places like Africa means a lot more than it does to somebody in Los Angeles. Here, it's the difference between a single and double Whopper. Over there, it's the difference between eating for a week or starving, going to school or staying illiterate. Patriotism is important and there's a utilitarian dimension to helping one's neighbor first, but we s...

Educational Leadership seems like an oxymoron sometimes
2009-10-12 19:55:00 The New York Times carried this story, of a 6 year old suspended after bringing camping silverware to school. I was on a school board for 8 years, and I am well aware of the difficulties that arise in local districts. Budgets are tight, and legal challenges can wick funds away from education. The easiest path is a "zero tolerance" schemata. Sometimes that is a ridiculous cop out.If schools wish to enjoy respect, they will have to learn to be more fearless in their leadership. Maybe what I mean is that they will have to use their heads. That would be a good example for their clientele. Especially Zachary....

THE TOP THREE: EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES OVER THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS
2008-11-02 22:36:00 What an election season this has been. We are faced with major challenges over the next eight years. Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama have made their closing arguments for why they each should be elected. Neither, I believe, has made the case for educational policies that would be any different than George W. Bush or Bill Clinton. The last two terms of the Bush administrations have been a boon to the textbook and testing companies by promoting an ill-conceived and ill-executed educational policy--No Child Left Behind--which underscores the inherent problems with most of the Bush era policies, foreign and domestic. The Clinton years were not any more successful in helping school-aged children. Indeed, the school accountability movement got its legs under Bill Clinton's administration. School Choice found voice, teacher and student "competencies" became a mantra, and religious acceptance in schools became issues from 1993 to 2000. Teachers, students, and schools ...
