Schooling is the major part of the children's life. It is the first step into the world. Whatever the home teaching and basics are taught to the child, they all play a vital role in schooling.

When we come to the education system in these days, it's a good one with the revolutionised generation of technology. The teaching methods have been changed and every day lesson planning is followed.

The knowledge required to face the tough questions in the academic is provided by the teaching.
These teachings are only focused on learning the subject knowledge. Beyond the book knowledge, there are more likely education is there.

Learning more textbooks and preparing the students for the term and final exams. Conducting daily tests, giving heaps of homework, punishing them if anyone of the above tasks is improper.

In a kid's mind, schooling is a place where there will be teachers, homeworks, assignments and punishment. In their mind, there will be no other thoughts than this.

Well, this is the education required, but this isn't complete.
Intellectual potential isn't available at schools.

Intellectual potential is the ability to think logically. To educate a child, school plays only a 50% of the entire knowledge.

We all know that a child's learning ability and willingness to open a book and read the subject is only a part of fulfilling the assignments. There will be lots of unnecessary things included in these learning projects, which will never be useful.
Only 50% of the matter in books will be useful in the future.

Private tuitions with huge financial investment doesn't help to maximise the intellectual potential of a child.
Only competitive exam based training and skills of exams on how to face is taught. These trainings never add a minute of skills to increase the IQ (Intelligent Quotient).

To increase the IQ, there is a need to be aware about the intellectual potential.
We all know how IQ is calculated…

Now, the education system will only leave a child as an educated, but not any smarter. To become smart, there's something more the child has to rely upon. It is on our shoulders to teach the children the moral values and prepare them to face the real problems.

I didn't mean to say that the education system is useless, it's useful, besides the point of intellectual potential is also taken into the consideration.

Napoleon Hill, in his book ‘Think & Grow Rich' quotes about education as follows.

“what is EDUCATION, anyway? This has been answered in full detail. As far as schooling is concerned, many of these men had very little. John Wanamaker once told me that what little schooling he had, he acquired in very much the same manner as a modern locomotive takes on water, by “scooping it up as it runs”. Henry Ford never reached high school, let alone college. I am not attempting to minimize the value of schooling, but I am trying to express my earnest belief that those who master and apply the secret will reach high stations, accumulate riches, and bargain with life on their own terms, even if their schooling has been meager”

Schooling will not teach children how to set themselves in the society. Many people will struggle in colleges due to this lack of knowledge.
School isn't the world, it's only a part of the world.

Relational Frame Theory :

RF theory is about understanding the relation between the things in the world.
Relational Frame Theory isn't taught in schools. It is something we've to learn on our own.

The real life experiences and situations we face will teach us this theory.

Best example to understand RF theory is, a dog is type of wolf, but wolf is not a dog.

Not only this RF theory, many theories and values aren't taught in schooling. After stepping up college, it will be a busy life.

Here, our life on the go teaches us everything. How to solve the problems of life and standing tall in the end.

Whenever you see any child struggling with his assignments, don't discourage them. It is not their big deal, help them if possible and try to teach them meaningfully.

Let's make the children as the true citizens of future. Let's together increase the Intellectual potential in kids.

Let's make the kids minds to think advanced and ahead of their physical growth.
