Let me preface this thought with a bit of background - I love learning. I loved school. I miss homework. I especially miss my teachers and professors. However, I hate our education system.

I felt like it was the same thing over and over again. Just memorizing bullshit. Bullshit I knew I wouldn’t need for the rest of my life no matter how much the teachers professed it would be valuable even when I’m 90 and crapping my own pants. I still say it’s all bullshit. I can add and subtract, but I can’t build a house or catch and clean my own food, nor can I sew clothing- not even a button back on my favorite blouse. BUT that whole aggravation goes into a whole different thought.  

This particular thought steamed from the same thought of getting back to the basics kinda thing and pairing it with the thought of the first day of school. 

Do you remember every first day of school you had? I probably could if I tired. I still recall the butterflies and the waking up 3 hours before class started just to make sure I had everything and I looked as perfect as possible. I also remember the review quizzes I always had to slop through. I hated it. I thought “Why don’t you already know what I know. Don’t you people communicate and have a set plan in place as to where one year stops and one begins.”

This thought then lead to thinking - why don’t say 2 teachers follow an entire class from 1st grade to 12th? Guest teachers would come in and out but you would always have 2 teachers in charge of a class. The children’s progression would be solely in their hands. They would know everything about the children. What they learned last week, last year, last decade. Think of how the teacher would progress too. 

Am I crazy? What do you think about this?
