  • I guess your comment’s POV, being framed coming from someone who didn’t like people trying to participate with them in their hobbies, lead me to perceive the position being from someone out in the social spaces of their hobbies, where something like that can happen, rather than something like at home, alone, doing their thing.

    I guess my point is that the way the comment was worded seems to create the opposite setting of what you were trying say?










  • No, while the best schools in the country have done a lot to incorporate non-traditional educational tools, like Khan Academy, have changed the class time structure, have moved to more “hands on” methods of communicating ideas, and have been moving away from a dependence on rote cram/purge cycles, they will not be scrapping down time, and forcing kids to do things they think are boring. Instead they have more per capita resources to tutor kids on how to deal with their frustrations, scheduling, boredom, and doing things they don’t like, because they have to. They actually have people that will work 1 on 1 with kids to do this, or their parents will hire private tutors to work with them on that, and subjects they struggle with. However, they know that cutting it out isn’t the solution, it is to specifically teach the kids how to deal with it.
