Why School Is Bad For Kids
This article brings up a very good point; the school system is not so much broken as grossly misdirected. What good do grades actually accomplish? Why are kids so poorly motivated? Why do they see so little reason to remain focused or to work hard? Why do they hate learning in so many different instances?
Perhaps we should try to learn something from children. I can quite clearly remember the feeling of curiosity, and happiness, that I used to have when I learned something new. Now I sit there through lecture after lecture, wondering why we never go over Hisenburg's Uncertainty Principle or quantum mechanics.
Do you know how many times I've been told we don't cover something because it isn't on the state core? Shouldn't I decide what I want to learn, not what some bureaucrat wants me to?
Isn't that the way schools used to be?
