RE: Is Schooling A Spoon Fed Process?
I think the structure of primary school is really a waste of children's time and energy. Non-traditional schooling where kids get to explore their own talents and interests is more appealing. Once they learn their special place in the world, they can then go to more advanced training as a teenager or adult. Plus, college and any education should be free. I value my college experience, but it was not worth the price tag that I am still paying off with no end in sight.
Primary school seems to be more of a daycare that allows children to interact socially. We are pretty gentle with these little ones' minds at this point, but I believe we need to be extremely cautious of what is put in their environment. Primary school goes on for eight hours. That, is unnecessary, these are children. I would minimize school days to 4 - 5 hours. Retention rates would rise, attention rates may rise, and I believe if children had a better "deal" with the schooling program then they may give a little more into it. With a limited amount of time, the topics must be made specifically to get them what is needed, needed.
I wish you luck paying off your schooling. I know I will need to create a solution type plan to rid me of my lady's and mine. Keep Steeming!
