I really hated school when I was in it.. I felt oppressed.. only did enough work to get decent grades.. wasn’t too difficult. Quite honestly at the time though I really didn’t want to learn much of what they were trying to teach me. My main reason was that I felt I didn’t need to know a lot of it. I still feel that way, but now I want to know some of it. I think one of the big problem with kids being in school is that they don’t have many people there to guide them and help them find out why it is they should be interested in learning things. Maybe it’s not schools.. maybe it’s parents.. maybe it’s just the kids.. maybe all three. Maybe my parents and teachers and peers just never saw my lack of learning and interest because my grades always stayed pretty high. Anyway.. I’m definitely going to provide my kids some motivation to learn things. I really regret ignoring all those years.
