RE: ⏺Knowledge vs. intelligence.. Why I hated school!
Such an interesting comment, Zane. I, too, hated school but ended up training as a teacher. My English teacher was horrified when I went back to do teaching prac - I had a degree in English and I'd been in the dof class. I so get you: school cannot teach intelligence and many schools can almost drill it out of you. Intelligence is a combination of knowledge and being able to distinguish between the crap/fake news and the real news and "proper" knowledge because you have the savvy to ask the right questions and discertn the "right" answers. Good on you for taking a stand, but don't dis all learning and formal learning: use it to suit you and to benefit you. Go for it!
Amen to that! Wow, like 90% of these comments are as long as school essays haha! Takes so much longer to get through, but I love it so much.
Awesome comment. I love it how so many teachers are coming upfront about this, and actually agreeing to this. It's really a cool sight.
I agree completely with what you're saying.. And yeah, it's not that I disregard all learning whatsoever, it's more a case to prove a point that I will never, ever study so I can have some words on a piece of paper. I strongly disagree with that, and don't need it to tell me my wisdom :) That's all. If I find a genuinely awesome course or learning experience, I will jump in!
