we all learn stuff in school, but rarely can implement it in real life. US way to teaching much better, where there is little emphasis on rote and more on understanding
classroom education is required to know the basics..practical aides in developin the knowledge learnt in the classroom to practice in the real world..both are essential..one widout another will only make one's overall progress slower..

Indian labs have a lot practicals, which are quite good. Only the state of the labs is not good, and the students themselves are always overestimating themselves and undermining others, which is a natural trait that should be avoided.
