RE: Korean Society Is In The Classroom: The School As A Factory
I went to a highschool that was based on having you take control of your own learning. It doesn't always work out in isolation though. Too many people (teachers, corporations, etc) actively acting against it
whats your conclusion on your schools efficacy? what worked for you?
well there were a lot of problems. Some students couldn't work well in other schools, but nobody could find a way to motivate them to learn. ("Regular" school ruined learning for them, in their mind there was no way it could be fun.) After some changes to the structure, the teachers were giving up on some (or even all) of the students. Part of the problem was that the tools we were using were absolute trash. (the free tools they could have used were better, but if the school isnt paying tons of money for it, its not learning. Everyone got an ipad that they almost never used lmao)
I just ignored the teachers and learned completely on my own the majority of the time. I couldnt ask for help for anything but writing, because I was already more advanced than most of them smh. It went far better than traditional school. I had a few classes in traditional school for high school. The main difference is that the traditional school doesn't care whether or not you understand what you are doing, and mine was based on understanding it. So I now actually have what I would consider the basis of an education, while most other people just had their time wasted
