but learning it made me feel so much smarter, especially when i finally got an equation down. Learning isn’t a race but schools make it so it is.

for that lack of interest. Reading is so incredibly valuable to daily life. An amazing defense against lies and deception and many kids refuse to read, read literature, research, even their own work. The fun has been sucked out, of learning. Not once will I apply advanced chemistry to my life

I didn’t even like reading and writing until my senior year of high school cause of my English teacher. Before then reading felt like such a hassle that wasn’t worth it. I hadn’t picked up a novel in gods knows how long between the time of elementary and senior year. I blame the school system

learning shouldn’t be a process that happens in a week, if a kid picks up that quickly then good on them, but learning honestly should be tailored to one’s own pace. School likes to repeat that but never ever fucking applies it, and belittles those for being “slow”
