How did institutions designed for learning become so widely hated by people who love learning?
Do you hate school? Do you hate learning? The most common answer is yes to the first and no to the second. Why?
Dr. Michael Wesch at Kansas state university has posted a thought provoking reflection called, “A Vision of Students Today.” He states:
“One of the most thoughtful and engaged students I have ever met recently confronted a professor about the nuances of some questions on a multiple choice exam. The professor politely explained to the student that he was “overthinking” the questions. What kind of environment is this in which “overthinking” is a problem? Apparently he would have been better off just playing along with the “getting by” game.”
If this rings true for you go over and read his post on his blog.
Thank you to D’Arcy Norman for drawing my attention to this great post.
