I always believed that a child's grade reflects the teacher more than the student. I started to read and write at age 2, wrote my first poem at age 4, had lots of children's books and loved reading.

After 3 years of school (age 7) my teachers were telling my parents that I had a 'reading comprehension problem'. Their "tests" had said so. And instead of telling the teachers they were idiots, my parents were embarrassed and disappointed in me.

For 10 years I felt stupid and hated reading.

Watch RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

for the scientific findings that support what everything he is saying in this video.

@kailabreece my videos kinda get at the core of the evil that is schooling  :)

Agreed, I'm most of the time left to my own devices, what people don't realize is that even during my time in school, I learnt far more from my surroundings than actual school. I might pick up on some info and just store it away. That's how people naturally learn, from their surroundings and their natural curiosity.

Forcing science on me makes me bored and my attention strays.

These 'education experts' no nothing of human instinct and human nature.

Education system makes me facepalm.

Actually, I watched them all in order.

That is not healthy. It does not create in them a passion for learning, only a fear of being less, being unwanted or rejected. They are driven by fear, not by joy. It does not have to be like that.

@kailabreece I know several children who only read to get points. That is not because they naturally hate reading but because they've been taught that the only value of books is to get points. How absurd and backward! No child is naturally driven by grades. Grades are make believe. The fear of failure is tangable in many students. Adult acceptence drives them, or the fear of losing it.

@kailabreece No human being should be referred to as damaged goods and if a teacher has become so impatient and bitter as to see them so, they should change jobs immediately. Not every household is perfect or safe. That does not mean that the sickest family should be considered the norm.

@kailabreece . Excuse me, but I know kids sent to "boot camps" and military schools. None were helped by it in the long run. One man told me it taught him to be more sly and violent. He also started drinking heavily there. Some kids died by being tortured to death in "boot camps" too. That is why you hear so little about them these days. As a therapeutic foster parent, I can tell you that the more institutionalized the kid, the less likely they are to make it in the real world.

@kailabreece People who crave structure are capable of creating it for themselves.
