real learning doesnt occur in the classroom
a classrom is a box. there is only so much you can fit inside a box. knowledge is infinite and it cannot be compressed to what is essentially a BOX. although you learn a lot from school, real learning doesnt occur in a classroom yet real learning occurs from real life experiences. stepping out of a classroom and finding your stance in society is an actual learning experience. surviving in the real world is the real test of life and by confining learning to a box, students will not be mentally and physically prepared to tackle the real world.

Why have we abandoned our raw human instincts of learning? naturally, as living creatures, we learn so much more from personal experineces, mistakes and physical interactions than we do from a teacher spitting facts at us. ill give you an example, animals spend their lives, interacting with their surrounding environment and manage to learn an amazing amount even though their brains are of much lower complexity than us humans. what we have done, is weve grabbed our children by the necks and have tossed them into a classroom to sit for seven hours expecting them to learn. However, true learning happens outside the classroom, outside those walls, outside that enclosure engulfing our brains, preventing them from exposure to vital knowledge we need for our survival.
