Why do you go to school? Is it to learn? Become famous? Earn a lot of money? What if I told you that school might not have much to do with the above, in a sense? Public school does not fully and adequately meet a person's educational needs and education today is best provided outside of the public school classroom. Standardized testing and teaching do not help a student reach their full creative and innovative potential. Education is about more than memorizing facts and regurgitating information. The Industrial Revolution was an important period in American history. He created the world as we know it today, including education. This created the idea of ​​a person going to work for a company to make money. By the turn of the century, this became the norm in society. In the 1950s, America saw the rise of John Taylor Gatto, a retired teacher, who claimed this to be true: "Boredom is the common condition of teachers, and anyone who has spent time in a teacher room can vouch for lack of energy, whining. , the discouraged attitudes that we find there. When asked why they are bored, teachers tend to blame the children, as you might expect. Who wouldn't get bored of teaching students who are rude and only interested in grades. Gatto makes an important point about kids who only care about grades. We can't really blame students because we place a lot of emphasis on the connection between success and test scores. This perpetuates Gatto's assertion that students lack creativity and the ability to take risks. “We could encourage the best qualities of youth – curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight – simply by being more flexible about time, texts and tests. by introducing children to truly competent adults and giving each student the autonomy they need to take risks from time to time
