Indian schools- place where children harrassed

I always felt pity on children studing in schools. In schools, students are forced to mug up everything. Students are recognised with medals if they able to vomit exactly the same what there teachers teach them and failed if they dont. When we compare our teaching system with teaching system of other developed countries, we lie far behind.
In our country students are discouraged to ask questions whereas in foreign countries student feel free to ask questions. We always expect our students to be Eintein, Edison, Bethoven in future but how these students will become Eintein etc if there power of thinking will be discouraged by punishments.
I still remember my school days, when I use to get severe punishment on narrating poems , tables etc wrongly. For one mistake I use to get ten beating with sticks on hand. Those days still haunt me.
I have written this blog not to just criticize our teaching system but to express that there are many creative and interesting ways to make students learn things.
Few are:
By movies: ChildrBolden love to watch movies. After watching 2 hours of movie, they remember every small thing of the movie. If teacher can link chapters to story of these movies then student will love to study and will easily able to remember chapters.
By stories: Everyone like s to hear story(Children specially). I still remember my childhood days of listening stories with my grandmother. If teacher teaches the chapter in form of stories then it becomes easy for students to learn and remember it for longer time.
By drawing: Every child wants to draw something. If they are taught how to draw apple , ball etc firstly and alphabets like A for apple , B for ball etc afterwards then it will become easy for them to learn all this.
If anyone feels that it's fictitious and not possile then they must see example given below.
How to remember public sector banks of India
(By small story)
Vikas , a man from remote area of UP, was very much interested in investing in sharemarket. He had done schooling only till 12th standard. He planned to go to MUMBAI to try out his luck. He went there, worked hard and saved money from his earnings. He was not knowing "ABCD" of shares but still he bought "IPO" of Relance- company starting business in oil .In few years , share price of that company touched skies. He became rich and bought a brand new "SUV" for his family.
Story is too simple to remember. It is having some abbrevations which is bolded. If a person can remember these abbrevations , he can easily remember the names of all public sector banks of India.
