Seems like every school should be a Massachusetts technical school. I mean isn't everything supposed to be technical in some degree? And in Mass? I suppose I'm just arguing semantics at this point but whatever.
I went to a normal school and sometimes I think, “Did I learn anything?” Because when you do technical training, there is defined and clear cut application. Which I like. My program, not quite as much so. A bit less. I don't really like that. I feel like everything should be taught with it's real-life application. Is that not practical? I think it is.
Sometimes I feel like the problem with education is that we teach people and we teach them by showing them what we've learned which I feel like inhibits the other's ability to learn it themselves. That's what I always hated about math, it was like;
Here is a problem. Here is the solution.
It was like, “HEY! GIVE ME A SECOND TO FIGURE IT OUT MYSELF!”
I always hated that. If you want me to learn, why are you telling me the answers? I understand like in English, this word means this and the such, but in math? In MATH? In math I think that's a terrible approach. You've given me the principles, now let me apply them. But maybe that's just me.
