I Am a Believer In Education

i love learning and progressing but school has always felt restrictive. some things are “always beyond the scope of this class” (which i understand cause these are intro classes but still) and yet the test questions are incredibly nuanced and difficult. at some point it’s not what u know but what u think the teacher wants u to know and you have to basically get inside their head to figure out what answer i have. and then that test grade determines ur worth and intelligence for that material when exams are hardly indicative of what u know and more like how quickly can u fool the system and adapt. it makes me lose faith in learning when everything is just about the grades in the end and not ur total knowledge. teachers should want you to pass and do well but it’s never like that.
