Now, there was a recent survey. It went to many kindergarten classes at the beginning of the year and asked questions like: How many of you can sing? How many of you can dance? How many of you can draw? And if they could, they raised their hand. In Kindergarten, nearly everyone raised their hand. They went to universities. They asked the same questions they asked the Kindergardeners. Almost nobody raised their hand. Is "Education" teaching us what we can't do?
I don't think it's education, it's just people learning about how society works. If you asked me if I could sng, I would say no, because I think of it as a question of whether or not I can sing well.
If you ask kindergarteners however, they see the question differently. They see it as whether or not they are physically able to sing. if those kindergarteners dropped out of school now, I bet that in 20 years they would give very similar answers to the answers of the current college students.
Well, the school teaches them things right? So they are teaching the people that they can't do it. Kudos Lain, that is good, but I still stand by my point
Hmm I bet thats because you didn't pay attention.If that were true nerdius then that would only be because school is teaching people how to be realistic.Anyone who wants to have a job in Engineering will learn that School teaches them what they can do,and will do in the future.
they teach us a wide variety of things so we can operate in society and have big choices in jobs
like lain said it's not what we can't do it's what we won't do well
how would teaching not bring someone to do something well? if it doesn't then i wouldn't call it teaching, i think what you're trying to say is why aren't there more classes in school...simple try finding another school
No, but through the school process, it lowers your self-esteem, it tells you, "You can't do this". That is not right. School needs to give positive reinforcement, and kids need to have more self-esteem. Does anyone agree with the topic name? PS- I don't agree with the topic, I thought it would be an interesting discussion. The reason I wanted to support the topic, is I made it, so I should support it.
How many kids in your school go to school with a very high self-esteem huh? Not as many as there should be. Also, the kids who sit there and don't care are getting worse off, as I know teachers who tell kids in normal classes that they aren't good enough, not just in prerequesite classes. These may not be good teachers, but they were hired by people working in education, and it is their fault for not staffing well.
So, its life, and yeah, I guess it dose suck for me. And you are lucky man. If you sit there and don't care, then how are you able to make me have a hard time defending this position? Also, if you did go to a school like mine, would you say school taught us what we can't do?
