1 card from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
The text implies that the ancient Gurukul system aimed to create "well-rounded individuals." Discuss how the combination of "Subjects of Study" and "Role of the Guru" would contribute to this holistic development, providing specific examples.
What different *types* of knowledge and skills were taught? How did living with the guru help develop character and other non-academic qualities?
Compare the "Goals of Education" in ancient India as described in the text with what "The School Boy" (from the previous chapter) seems to advocate for a child's education. Are there any points of convergence or significant divergences?
What did ancient education want students to *become*? What does the school boy *wish* he could do instead of going to school? Where do their ideas about "good" education overlap, and where do they differ sharply, especially concerning structure and freedom?
