i don't like the "new" diseases they keep "inventing."

not everyone learns by sitting still and behaving like a good little student.

education today wants all kids to sit still, be quiet and are forced to learn things in a cookie cutter fashion. it's like putting a square peg into a round hole.

instead of forcing medication on all the kids, more study is necessary in my opinion.

as a student myself, i couldn't agree more with this. i am one of those people who is not able to sit still and absorb mundane information for hours on end. unfortunately though this is what schools and universities expect from students. in my opinion it is possibly most pronounced in the uk where we are expected to learn in a remarkably robotic fashion and our children are the most tested in the world. it's hardly surprising that young people lose their enthusiasm for learning and don't feel like concentrating on learning something, they have simply done it so many times before and many (myself included) just can't cope with the monotony! as a result we just don't bother and do things that make us feel good. i am quite sensitive to vibrations and find that libraries generally give off bad vibes. when you think about this this isn't really surprising as they are usually full of intensely stressed and often fearful people. rather than focusing on the joy in learning, education is just geared towards the big tests and exams. it is a shame but thankfully it looks like it will be changing for the better very soon, hopefully before 2012.
