School Is Important, but. . .

Schooling is essential, bit only if it's done right. American school systems aren't doing it right. Instead of teaching you how to learn, the "teachers" stabs in front of the class and lecture, telling you to take notes, as if that will make you retain the information they throw at you in hope something sticks. There are ways to trigger a person's memory, to build their intellect, and the school systems just aren't doing it. We don't all learn the same way, and if you don't learn the way the teacher decides to teach, then you're shit out of luck. Classrooms should be interactive, with all four main types of learning used, so as to engage more off the student's mind. If the student is bored, they're not going to learn anything. If they struggle, they're going to develop a belief that they aren't smart, or that they "can't do math" or whatever subject. With that belief in mind, how can they learn? All of these are failures on the party of the American school system.
