Fusion of the Traditional and Modern Teaching techniques- Need of the hour

I feel we have made some serious mistakes while modernizing the Education system. I am not against modernization, but we should not have done away with the Traditional methods of teaching all together.

For instance, skills like Reading, Recitation, taking dictation, learning songs and poems by heart are almost a thing of the past, whereas, the fact is that these were the very skills which honed the power of memory and strengthened our retention power.

I am sure we all have wondered how our Parents and Grandparents could quote from any text, could remember every event accurately and knew all important dates by heart? They could recall 100's of phone numbers which today's generation can't.

They forget facts sooner than they learn, because they have gadgets to store information and are never encouraged to store facts in their brain.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease are widely prevalent today. We urgently need to turn back to some of our traditional methods of teaching which enhance and activate our stagnating brain cells.
