Education Distorted
As we grow we get stuck in a room with other little kids that want to run and play. But are train like dogs to sit and be still. Given grades to let them know they are or not smart or well behave. Parents Go around proud Of the honor rolled kid as if that was something to be proud of. A kid that loses his creativity,passion and can vomit in a piece Of paper all that is being taught. Nowadays kids are more interested on seeing tv and playing video games than creating in their imagination a story. I learned this when i played with my daugther. She was surprise that i could make up a story and i was surprise to hear her say i don't know how to do that. Something that came so natural for me had become unatural to my kid. Is a real shame, I read to her every night that she is with me to spark her imagination. It seems to be helping. Education system is about turning kids into the same structure kid and parents are helping in the process brainwash by the media. Is something we have to look at and change my friends. The future doesn't look very promising when a kid builds a fort with a ipad instead of boxes. Let them go out,build,play with sticks, draw...spark the creativity. Creativity is educational all by itself.
