School Rant!

Hey bloggers!
So today I want to talk about Math. Honestly, I used to love math. I loved feeling smart. But I'm not a textbook learner. I don't learn by doing busywork, I learn by creating models, and talking about what I've learned. If only schools were rich enough to support every way of learning. Wouldn't that be great? You wouldn't have kids being stupid because they'd be able to learn the same amount of material in a way that suits them, not the nation's wallet. Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Is that really what you want kids to believe? That just because they don't learn a certain way they're condemned to a lower lifestyle than a kid that can fit in with everyone else? I thought that schools wanted you to think it's okay to be different. Let's change this to, "We want you to be exactly who you are, as long as you can adapt yourself to learn in the way we want you to." This is brainwashing. I could be the smartest person in the world, but if I can't concentrate while I read a textbook, then no one is going to care. Well, I should probably stop ranting for a while. Thanks for reading all of my words.
Stay learning the way you WANT,
