Agreed. I once wrote an article based on a TED talk - do schools kill creativity - and touch on a lot of this stuff. People (young or old) weren't designed to be put in that environment, and if you act out, you're 'naughty'… nope just normal!

Sort:  

School fucked me up so bad I don’t even know how to talk about it in a way that people can understand. As soon as I got out of school and tried to self study, I realized that I was far more capable than I had ever thought.

There are few things I learned that were important but I can’t think of any that I couldn’t have learned in a self-study environment with an empathetic tutor there to answer questions and help me decided on assignments that would be optimized for my own strengths and weaknesses.

Whose TED was it

If our course work is based on 1 textbook, we don't need 4 months 2master the knowledge in that textbook. We can read the textbook over a weekend, then spend a few weeks covering material in class.

Education is vital. School? Not so much.
