15. Pre-Task 5: (Uttarkashi) School should be a place of beautiful memories of friendship, learning and so on. But there is a circumstance mentioned in the book by John Holt. He has mentioned “It is hard not to feel that in every way it would have been much better for her never to have had to study arithmetic at all. All it has done for her is make school a place of pain and danger, where she is so busy thinking about escape and safety that she can learn almost nothing and use nothing of what she learns.” Pg- 154. how learning processes in school can affect a student’s psyche? What is your take on this statement?
