LOL... Actually I did have to be physically dragged to first grade.
Seriously, I am uneducated and should just shut my yap but I can’t drag myself away from this thread.
Like all REAL people, I am an autodidact (I taught myself).
In those few moments when I actually listened in school, I could tell what the teachers were saying was BS.
It’s not about being educated. It’s how your brain works. Your brain works just fine, goodman.
The very last thing 15yo FReepers like yourself are is un-educated. Plus you have the best encyclopedia of real-time history you can search anytime to fill in blanks.
For example, if a kid wants to learn something, let him go out and find it.
Give kids the opportunity to learn when they want to...but if they enjoy stupidity...leave them alone.
I have squirrels in my yard smarter than me.
They hustle because if they don't, they die.
Animals are natural entrepreneurs. Their business is finding their next meal.
Now that's an amazing incentive.
Kids in school have no incentive except to kiss some teacher's fanny.
You are a treasure to a lot of us ... Including Qx.
Self education is often deeper and “takes” more than forced classroom education. Say, rather, that you weren’t brainwashed but educated yourself.
Uneducated is relative, I know lots of people with BAs, MAs, and PHDs, in many cases those degrees just make them more indoctrinated...and, oh yes, arrogant.
Your “yap” is just fine on this thread, lj. : )
What does being educated or uneducated have to do with wisdom? Many an educated person would miss what a wise one finds.
Addicting, this thread. Makes me wish I owned a smart phone...almost.
