RE: The Homeless Pretenders.

in #blog7 years ago

So even though they didn't do a damn thing other than give me a test I had to pay for the full course, and they also wouldn't let me take other courses. So I couldn't actually get the degree faster. I could have challenged 75% of that degree in my youth (Computer Science), but I ceased trying to do that after that negative experience. I never did get that degree.

My negative experience comes from elementary through middle school. I was always much faster in math than everyone else, well in the final years in highschool I had the advanced course in math(LK) and most of the guys in class were really good, so I was rather middle of the pack compared to them. But the only thing being good in math got me was trouble cause I would never do my homework.. Why would I train the basics of a method, when I can solve the advanced applications without a sweat?

Sort:  

I was pretty good at math too. Though I was not a very good traditional student. I was always doing my own thing.

Though one of my kids was brilliant at math and school actually damaged his mathematical ability by trying to force him into a mold.

Here is something I wrote about that 10 months ago.

aight, i need to do some shores, will read some @dwinnblood in between, so we got some new ammunition. ;) Talk to you later.

Wish I could resteem it... :( I was an apprentice teacher once and in every class there was 1 person that stood out and was really frustrated, the same as I was in school

It illustrates again to me the importance of remembering that we all think differently, and yet we often can still solve the same problems, and come to similar conclusions while walking a different path. I consider this a beautiful thing NOT to be squashed and I really wish they hadn't squashed it in my son and that they were not still squashing it in many other children.

That's exactly what I meant to say when I talked about liberaterianism once. I come from a very different viewpoint, but I do respect your ideology very much and find it in a way beatiful
