Education

Is a bitch. All I really have to say about it. I'm tired of having to have crap shoved down my throat. There are so many ways to teach that are so much funner for everyone involved. America's (sorry the people in charge of America have) got this stupid idea that students are little books to be written in, and nothing falls out. If something falls out, its their fault they didn't work hard enough to hold the binding together. Sometimes there just aren't enough pages, sometimes it rains, sometimes the pen is just too hard to pick up. Sometimes the authors don't agree with each other.
What if school taught kids to want to write in their books? What if school taught that a full book was a cool book? What if school taught kids to like to learn? A cultivated interest in knowledge will go farther than seventeen years of knowledge learned for a few tests. An interest in knowledge could keep people smart all their lives, more interested in news, politics, the world around them. An interest could keep seniors tech literate and build bonds that are unimaginable now.
Almost everyone thinks, or has thought that being a scientist would be a cool job. Why? Because they get to discover things, they get to learn, they get to make the textbook, they get to know all there is to know. They all love what the area they're working in. What if everyone was a scientist. They could still be firefighters, burger flippers, politicians, or whatever, but they could all be adding to the world's unfathomable repository of knowledge. A sharing of ideas by billions of people. A social Internet. All through a change of educational attack.

If we can teach an unwilling senior calculus, I think we could teach someone to love Biology.

Or I could be wrong?
