As a soon-to-be maths teacher, hearing about high school students going above and beyond the terribly-designed curricula that teachers are forced to inflict on their students warms my heart enormously. May your passion for learning continue to grow, and guide you to ever greater intellectual heights. Have an upvote. :)
Thank you very much :) I’m glad that there’s one more teacher who has an interest in teaching, and not just signalling learning in students—even if that’s the only option governments let them take :(
I agree with what you’ve said, and I believe it applies to most, if not all subjects. I’ve found children don’t thrive in factory-like conditions of quiet and memorising in age dependant groups, and their capabilities aren’t measurable in a one off three hour written exam—people really are different. I think I’d leave school, and teach myself to pass the necessary qualifications to get into uni and so much more, if it weren’t for my school having an excellent music department of the sort I wouldn’t be able to get elsewhere (it’s a music school).
-Because I really do love to learn. I’m with Michel Thomas, that “it’s the learning process that motivates these kids”.
