LEARNING..

I thought the video was very interesting. I like the way Tulley thinks and had new ideas for learning. The having no set curriculum and no tests had me wanting to go there myself. When i think of our current system of education, all i can think of is tests, homework, and never getting in class projects. I find it sad that most teachers don't even communicate with most of their students or make them participate. Teachers should make every student take that "what kind of learning are you" quiz so that they know what they are dealing with. but instead most teachers don't care and just write a bunch of words on the board and expect for you to know what you're doing. My experiences in school are boring, no field trips, no projects, just being expected to want to learn. Tulley's way of learning is very confronting, he makes you trust others with sharp objects, real tools, and insures you with a better sense of how the make things and how the real world works. He makes you realize that you shouldn't look at life as a huge step you have to take, but as a bunch of small steps that will get you closer to success. Outside of school, like having a job, makes you be friendly, makes sure you finish your job, cause if you don't, you could get fired or yelled at. When you screw up at a job, you learn from it because your boss tells you how to do it the right way, teachers just assume you know. Some students are very shy and won't speak up if they don't know what they are doing, i know many teachers who only like the students who ask questions and know what they are doing. I would want to attend a school like Tulley's, i feel like i would learn more teamwork, how to figure things out, how I i figure things out, and when i screw up it would just be analyzed. I'm a person that needs to be involved in projects, see pictures instead of a bunch of words, and be more involved or else i get bored pretty fast. Our society doesn't respond to failure very well. If you fail, you are looked down upon very much so. I feel like everyone needs to settle down and realize that everybody makes mistakes, even yourself. So think twice before you look down upon someone for screwing up, It's only human.
