RE: The Ancient Greeks Way to Educate

Yes I agree a good point. However my gripe with our parrot learning system is that everyone is apparently the same. Kids are taught to repeat fact and figures and not investigate them or discover things for themselves. Through my schooling I was a visual learner with Dyslexia, this meant I was not normal and did not conform with the said system therefore I was lacking concentration and ability because the system we are told we MUST learn by was not suitable. Even today 20 years on children who have learning difficulties or even require a different type of learn are basically wrong. This system takes away individuality and character making everyone the same, its outdated, controlling and lacking diversity :)

You are so right on all these points, and I completely agree with you. This is one of many reasons parents turn to home schooling these day. A kid who learns a little differently can flourish with a little creativity in how things are presented. My oldest has visual processing problems and although I did not choose to home school because of that, I have met many over the years who have. The school system is just not giving their kids the support they need. Yes, the system needs to change, every child deserves more than the current system provides.

Discussion is the first step things a re changing. Lets hope these thing pick up some momentum
