[quote]A very informative article, the problem we have at least in Pakistan is that we haven't recognised or don't want to the youth of today, we teach Islamiyat in schools the most boring way, the students are a product of a digital world who have access to information images and music, yet we as parents educators cannot come up to the challenge. We can't decide weather it is acceptable to integrate music in our curriculum or use role play, drama and creative movement in our teaching
methodologies. So what we do is what I call is safe teaching keep it text book oriented  lecture based no role play no drama no creating presentations or using multimedia. To produce thinkers you have to give them the right to question and come to their own conclusions. In my experience the students or youth do come to the correct conclusion, it may be a different one from ours but correct. Our youth is exposed to or has access to people and information which we refuse to acknowledge or talk about ourselves. They are globally connected with their i pods i phones i pads, cell phones  computers, laptops yet we think we can stop information or control it.
                 Our students have to be as good as any student abroad and they can be but we ourselves are holding them back. Major battles have to be fought  just to integrate music drama role play and creative movement in our curriculum.The sad part is when we limit our curriculum we rob the students of seeing the clean, informative and enjoyable side to learning.[/quote]
