School Blues

We have been lucky with the teachers Mira, Macy and Marko have had.
and I have no complaints about them....but no child left behind and memorizing useless information to spit back on a test isn't real education.
I am very grateful for the active minded, creative teachers we have encountered thus far!!!!!!!


Sometimes I get real tired of the education system. This guy seems to say it best:

"We need to stop producing a nation of stressed out students who learn how to please the teacher instead of pleasing themselves. We need to produce adults who love learning, not adults who avoid all learning because it reminds them of the horrors of school. We need to stop thinking that all children need to learn the same stuff. We need to create adults who can think for themselves and are not convinced about how to understand complex situations in simplistic terms that can be rendered in a sound bite."

Just call school off. Turn them all into apartment houses.
