Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls,I consider myself lucky to still be alive.Unfamiliar to fresher?s,there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.
I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food-poisoning,probably from dirty kitchen counters.Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation,I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modern education.
In 2006 and 2010,the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education.Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents.I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents,the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation—a working knowledge of basic life skills.
Today?s graduates may have earned themselves honor in history,law or economics,but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books,or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes,they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.
Since the invention of the Internet,it has never been easier for people to access information,but our highly specialized education has made us more one-sided than ever.
