Castle of Limbs

The current education model isn’t for everyone though, a lot of people feel alienated in classrooms, esepcially in their high school years. I pretty much did everything to get out of class and work, until year 12. I just didn’t learn like my peers.

I understand that people learn differently, sorry :(. I meant by the post that I don’t understand why people don’t see formal education as important, given how much focus society places on it. I guess it’s just because personally, I was always solely focused on academic learning in class and independently, from the time I was like 6, and that’s all I really know.

Schools definitely should cater to different types of learners, and try to help everyone achieve. I ended up going to an academically-selective high-school, which was pretty singularly focused, and it really didn’t work for some people, and that was bad to see, because a few people floundered and nobody really did anything to fix that, and it was such a waste because those people could have gotten so much more out of it than they did.

I didn’t mean for the post to be at all ableist, so I apologise if I was, I was just trying to lambast the attitude that school isn’t important/is a waste of time/isn’t worth the effort, because I personally see education as a driving force in social mobility, which probably also stems from my personal experience, given it’s sort of my only hope.
