Aesop's Fables

Aesop was born around 620 B.C., and was a slave by birth.

In those days, you were born a slave if you were the son of a slave, just like you are born a Hindu if you are the son of a Hindu.

Our education system has become a race. A race amongst all sorts of participants. Fast and slow, bright and dumb.

And it’s not always the fast or bright who get to win this race. Like in the old Aesopian fable about a race between a hare and a tortoise.
