I and many other students have had run ins with teachers and other students where they have been told to give up. Whether it was art or writing or science they were told to give up, and some did. Some dropped poems or stories they were working on and other gave up on art as a whole. It's entirely heartbreaking to know that an entire book might never be made just because of one person's comment.

They can play at it sure, but they'll never out right make fun of themselves without following it up with mentioning something cool they did or bring someone else down along with them. It really makes you wonder what kind of humor the next generation is going to have.

It'll also make you more proud of the finished product.

This can work for productive or non productive habits of mind. For example a kid hitting another child to get a toy, it worked before so it should work again. A more mature example would be someone properly communicating their plans for a large project to a potential backer, if they explain their intentions clearly like they did with the last one they should get the same desired outcome.

I do believe though, that in some nonsensical roundabout way, that this will eventually help the educational system and its flaws. School never feels like learning, it feels like someone cramming a book down your throat and expecting you to understand its contents. I think Covid outlining kids use of cheating, not turning in assignments, not showing up to class really shows just how much the public school system has messed up. Recognizing these flaws we can eventually change our production line style education into something more productive.

It's all too common now a days for people to claim their research to be absolute. This small sentence works nicely to show that we are still learning and that it's okay, and even encouraged for research like this to change and evolve. Mon, 30 Aug 2021 09:15:35 -0400
