Dancing with Professors

            I really like this article because it is finally points blame at someone other than the students.  Some students don’t learn the same way as others.  There is nothing wrong with that, and there is nothing wrong with other forms of teaching.  I feel like the way we are taught is kind of like the way they describe the buzzard mentality.  Are feet are tied down and we only learn what some higher person is telling us we can learn.  I believe there should be some guild lines, but I feel like its hindering the creativity of the kids.  I also believe that for some students that school sets them up for failure.  If a kid does not perform well in school, he is made to believe that he cannot succeed in life.  And I don’t know who decide to set this picture in motion but its complete crap.

            I really like the part when it talks about the reading we are made to do.  I have always thought this way too.  The reading is boring and not very creative, and then we are told to do the exact opposite.  I feel like this continues with the buzzard mentality.  What we try and see is what we are more likely to go towards.  So when we are told this is good literature, and made to read it we will most likely end up writing in a similar fashion.  Fortunately times are changing along with what is important.  Each generation comes up with a different style.  But I think that the older people running the schools are stuck thinking that the old style is the best.  But what comes from the past makes the future.  I see a pretty decent reacurring part of life and that is what comes next is generally better.  The first car is arguably not better than what we have now.  So I think that can be true with all things.
