education

In Emerson's essay and opinion he states that students should freely be given the range to learn and explore the amazing world. Emerson states that when students are given freedom and incentive they strive and pursue the knowledge of the world. But when the lessons and teachings become controlled, teh ferver and wanting for knowledge becomes undisired. In my personal situation the school not only teaches to the masses but it also only teaches testing. I don't know for absolutly sure but I am semi positive that being able to completely and correctly bubble in teh designateed bubble without leaving stray marks is not a valuable life skill.I had mch rather be able to know how to perform simple long divion than complete an algebra problem on a calculator swiftly and promply. It takes willing students, submissive schoool boards, and inspired teachers to make the learning process work to its fullness. I have personally had a teacher who loved what he did. He had such a ferver for history and he had a passion for the knowledge of what once was. Students would baffle me with their distaste for learning purely for the sake of learning. I personally love history and I love his class so much because we shared the same passion for the subject. He left an impression on me and I imagine that i will remember that teacher through my college days and most likely through the days I plan on teaching myself.
