I thought education can have so much more potential.
If we so desire, there could be a genuine basic electrical engineering classes where kids are taught to assemble their own electronics, build robots, amongst other things.
What we got though, is the uninspired math class, the boring basic computer class, reading plays that are meant to be played out, and so on.
However, formal education must use a metric of some kind. A way to say a neat number. The penchants for mechanization where teachers are taught to "teach", not learn and teach, are widespread. Why don't we have industry professional, scientists, and so on, work with the teacher directly?
Doesn't it alway seem to you that educations are in general, just mediocre. The IQ of kids are more than enough to handle complex ideas.
We don't try very hard, but those who try are more likely to be successful, and seemly much more knowledgeable.
