It’s been proven not only by regular ordinary people all over the world, but also seasoned scientists that we, as humans, desire to learn. We crave to absorb new discoveries, ideas, and experiences. We are, by nature, consumers. We also know that school is less than a pleasant experience. You’re forced to learn things you don’t always care about. The largest argument for this by educational directors and funding is that you will never know what a child will grow up to be and what knowledge they’ll need. It’s better and safer to give them a starter pack of a little bit of everything. However this is reliant on the idea that those who are not legal adults are not mature and developed enough to have the foresight for their future. Despite that, they are given minimal teachings on what actually goes on outside the protective bubbles of schools and the life it comes with at that time. While it certainly is a good idea, in concept, to teach budding young adults a sprinkle of the basics it’s come to our attention, through decades of learning, that you don’t have to force anyone to be taught. Humans are fascinatingly malleable creatures. Not only by those around them but by their own hand. You can teach yourself, and likely have, topics you’ve never even heard of before by the smallest clipping of a clue to what it is. That is, if it interests you. We’re conditioned to believe we need a teacher. That we, by any means, have to be fed carefully in order to understand the mental tools we require to learn from more advanced teachers. Children and young adults are given far less credit than they deserve when it comes to what their minds can do.

How would you change it? [/b]
