Education System

So apparently we need to start blogging on these sites. Not a huge fan. But I seem to be able to work better in a home environment. School is just one huge distraction where everyone is self-absorbed in social media and face time with one another rather than a lesson with the teacher. In school we seem to prefer to meet with people and socialize rather than advance in the world. I'm not saying that if you socialize you will get nowhere, but I feel some priorities need to be made with the student first before any learning can be done. I think school is boring partly because the system the school boards set up is a little outdated and not as stimulating as it should be. Every class is the same: lecture, work, homework, test, and repeat. We are creatures of habit, yes, but doing the same task over and over again doesn't stimulate the brain enough into actually learning. It's no wonder students are turning to social media and functions rather than school. On Facebook, every post is unique. Each post stimulates different emotions than the last. This constant stimulation keeps people addicted to Facebook. Students party and socialize because every event is different. One party may have a fight, another, a pass-out-drunk. Alcohol and marijuana also aide the escape from the same, hellish loop of life. Each high or drunk can bring different experiences that can help with the same boring joke or the same school schedule. The school system should require a change in teaching methods for each quarter. A visual learner may not do so well in a class where the teacher simply lectures, then hands out a test. I'm sure the school board agrees everyone is different. Then they should stop treating everyone the same. They treat us as numbers than names. Each student is given a number and that's how they get lunch or check out a library book. The school computers turn everyone into a number and that's how  you sign in to do an assignment. To them, 1315004121 is the same as 1315004425. There is no way of telling who is who! How on earth can a director say, "Lets make all the classes take notes while labs and projects are optional". I learn by actually doing the task. If I mess up, I redo it until I get it right. I can't simply read notes and understand it instantly. I have to actually put my hands on it to learn. I became so well versed in building computers by actually building them. If it didn't work, I would figure out what went wrong and learn from my mistake in the future. I'm simply glad I get to move on to another school where the professors think exactly the same way as high school teachers and repeat the process for another four years.
