If you are into serious discovering, and I hope you do, because once you stop learning, there really is no need to continue existing, then there will be plenty of museums around about Seattle, Washington that will feed the mind while entertaining your family. The vast number of museums in this field makes it a very interesting place to visit. There are museums here that cover everything from the Klondike Gold Rush to Log Houses and many, many things between.

Additionally the pair museums mentioned above there are several interesting museums to visit while in Seattle. The first is the Museum of Flight. This is likely one of the museums that Seattle is most pleased with. It is consistently voted one of, if not the optimal of its kind in the country. Find the history of flight and even take a ride in a flight simulator or tour the original Air Force One. Irrespective your feelings about flying, I’m almost certain that someone in your group ( in particular when there are any boys) will see this museum to be of great interest.

The Northwest Railway Museum is another museum that is not just educational but also fun for the whole family as well. Visit the Depot, which has been fully restored to its originally splendor or take a ride on one of the trains. Whatever you fancy, your little guy’s (even your not so little guy’s) eyes will illuminate at the concept of riding the rails. The mission of this museum is to educate the public on the vital role that railroads have played in the growth of Washington State throughout history. I think they are attaining their goal quite nicely and am happy to be able to make more of the public aware of them and their mission.

The next museum that is a little from the ordinary and yet vastly interesting and educational is the Whale Museum. This is of particular interest if you are planning to do any whale watching although many people are visiting the fantastic city of Seattle. Whale watching is always a fantastic deal of fun and it is even more fun if you are armed with the knowledge that can be gleaned by spending a little time discovering about whales at the Whale Museum before you go any further your whale watching excursion.

The Odyssey Maritime Discovery Middle is another of the truly great museums that can be found in Seattle. This museum not just offers great resources and info about the maritime history that is so essential to Seattle these days but interactive displays that encourage children to learn and explore by doing. This is a great place to spend the day, but pay close attention to their hours for the day you are organizing to attend as this center has shorter weekday hours than most museums.

The Wing Luke Asian Museum is the only museum of its kind in the U.S. This museum is devoted to preserving and promoting Asian Pacific American culture, history, and art. This museum has a permanent exhibit that is prepared to remind us of the internment camps that were employed for Japanese American citizens during the Second World War. I feel like this, to a greater extent anything else is an essential reminder and worthwhile the visit and there are more exhibits that offer entertainment and education.

I hope that you will visit one or more of these great museums. I think you will be amazed to find how educational and fun they are actually for the complete family.

Coaching institutes plays a major role in training students for entrance examination to higher education. The reason is that curriculum in schools and colleges do not equip students to appear for entrance examinations.

Educational system in schools and colleges
The educational system is schools and colleges do not match with the expectations of higher education institutes. Premier institutes like IIT, IIM test students’ ability, that how far they have understood the concepts and whether they are able to apply concepts in practical.

But in educational institutions students are taught in examination point of view. System of education in India is more examination oriented. There is a system of examination and there is no system of education in India. Students memorize the concepts and reproduce in the examination. Examination tests students’ memory power only.

Role played by coaching institutes
Coaching institutes teach students the concepts in science, mathematics and similar subjects. They teach students how to apply concepts they have learned, in practical situation. What students should learn in schools is taught in coaching institutes. With the knowledge gained in schools, students are unable to get through in the entrance examinations of higher education.

Problem with coaching institutes
Of course through these institutes students are trained well in learning science concepts. But the fees they are charging are exorbitant. A report says that nearly 5000 million rupees is spent together by all students getting training in these institutes. Coaching institutes also cannot be blamed for these high fees, as they are paying handsome salary to their faculties.

Moreover as these institutes are located in cities, rural students are denied this opportunity.

Remedy to this issue
The curriculum in education should be restructured, so that it improves students’ comprehensive ability, making them to understand the concepts well and attend the entrance tests of premier institutes. Government may consider starting boarding schools having separate curriculum, where talented students are selected, admitted and trained to appear for entrance examinations. Government may consider giving subsidy to these schools and nominal fee may be charged from students. Changes in pattern of examinations should be done. Objective type questions can be introduced, to test whether the students have understood the concepts.

This may be considered as a reform in higher education in India.
