RE: Some thoughts from my time in the public indoctrination system.

in #unschooling7 years ago (edited)

The older I get the more I thought about education in a good manner. When I was student I thought that we SHOULD destroy this school/college/university system. Kids can educate themselves with internet connection.

But now I understand that this knowledge is somewhere, and I must be there in school, study for the sake of time passing. pass my time and learn something. I waste my time but I survived.

Now I know that most kids can't learn something by themselves. It's almost impossible. We should teach them. Yes, school teach shit, but it's not their work to make you smart and successful. They only need to throw you from 6 years old to 22 years old age.

Sort:  

Now I know that most kids can't learn something by themselves.

Probably because they are taught from the beginning of their lives to obey and don't ask "stupid" and uncomfortable questions. Sure, many people are incapable of being independent but it is probably the consequence of the existing personality-crushing institutions.

Now I know that most kids can't learn something by themselves. It's almost impossible.

How do kids learn to walk? To speak their native tongue?

Why do they need to waste 12 years of their lives when they could learn on their own volition either at voluntary schools of their choice, or at home and from community members, at a rate exponentially faster and more efficient?

Oh no, my comment is ANTI school system, but something in me say that I had something. It wasn't waste of time, because it was a time when I should waste my time. Some brain functions weren't developed.

Now I am in struggle, because no one taught me how to make money. Now I am in struggle because no one taught me how to learn.

SORRY, WE NEED TO DESTROY SCHOOL SYSTEM.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD INVEST INTO FREE INTERNET COURSER for those who want.
