Acharya Prashant responds to a question about psychological violence in classrooms and how to improve the educational environment. He states that everything can be changed, including the very concept and necessity of the classroom as we know it. The transformation depends entirely on the consciousness of the teacher and their understanding of their role. At the most basic level, a teacher might see their job as merely completing the syllabus and transferring information from books. However, there are countless possibilities to rise above this. The extent of change depends on how high a teacher is willing to elevate their consciousness. To create an environment where students and teachers can learn about themselves, as suggested by J. Krishnamurti, the first requirement is that the conversation in the classroom must be honest and direct. Secondly, education cannot be detached from the student's life. The speaker questions why a student should learn any subject if its relevance to their life is not established. Students often don't feel the need to learn because the content is disconnected from their reality. Education must begin by making the student aware of their needs, which requires them to first know themselves. He uses the analogy of an unconscious, drunk man who doesn't feel the need for clothes in the cold; similarly, students are unconscious of themselves and thus don't feel the need to learn. The fundamental purpose of education should be to help the child understand who they are. Only then can the relevance of subjects like history or science be explained. For instance, history is important because the mind is a product of the past, and knowing it helps one avoid repeating old mistakes. The current education system is flawed because it never answers the student's fundamental question: "Why should I study this?" This system turns students into well-trained, knowledgeable animals—like skilled chimpanzees—who lack self-awareness. When confronted with misleading information in textbooks, such as "cows give us milk," the speaker asserts that a teacher's duty is to the truth, not the textbook. A teacher must have the courage to refute falsehoods. The primary responsibility of a teacher is to be in a place where truth is valued, and they must first ask themselves why they are teaching what they are teaching.
