Has school turned you into a zombie? Do you find yourself turning off, tuning out, or dropping out? If you're playing the game of school, are you doing it just to get that diploma, to get together with friends, or to please Mom and Dad? Do you feel that school has no real value for you, that it isn't meeting your needs, or that it is out of sync with the real world?
If you feel school should be fun, I mean, really fun, a place where you work on meaningful problems or projects with your friends, a place where you can't wait to get to, and a place where you fit in because teachers sincerely care about you and what you want to learn, then trust those feelings. Instead of school telling you what to do, school should be following you and your interests. School should put you in charge of your learning.
What school doesn't want to confront is the idea that you have the best brain of all the animals on this planet, that your brain and the brain of all of us humans is the masterpiece of all brains. What school doesn't want to accept is that you are perfectly capable of choosing what and how you want to learn because that brain of yours is urging you in certain directions. You have a calling, a purpose, a destiny built into your DNA that will lead you to figure out what you are meant to do in this world. It is high time that school helped you do that.
The book pictured above is available on Kindle Books, is cheap, and tells you all about you and what school owes you.
I will have more to say about this in future blogs.
