  1. I disagree. That’s an individual experience of the speaker. That’s not proved that school makes children less inteligent.

  2. another problem with school is they give too much work, whether you procrastinate or not, like you’re an employee in a corporate setting already then cancel classes just to let us “focus on the work.” It doesn’t make sense bc I want to learn.

  3. no is just as the older you get the more school becomes so mundane and more uninteresting than first years of grade school 🥱.

    i’m sorry but i find French class to be the most boring because i don’t feel stimulated which means i suffer from under stimulation when a class lecture is 2 hours and i see my other classmates talking “blah” “blah “blah” “blah”

  4. How other counties might surpass the USA because they put more resources into AI education at a young age

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field with the potential to transform industries and drive economic growth. As such, it has become a key focus for countries around the world, and many are investing heavily in AI research and development. However, one area that is often overlooked is AI education at a young age. By investing in AI education at an early age, countries are positioning themselves to be leaders in the field and to reap the economic benefits that come with it.

    One of the main reasons that other countries might surpass the USA in AI is because they are investing more resources in AI education at a young age. By starting education early, students have more time to develop the skills and knowledge needed to excel in this field. This includes math, science, and computer science skills, as well as critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. These skills are essential for success in the field of AI, and by starting education early, students have a better chance of developing them.

    Another reason that other countries might surpass the USA in AI is because they are creating a more supportive ecosystem for AI education. This includes things like providing funding for research and development, building partnerships with industry, and creating programs and initiatives to support AI education. By taking a holistic approach to AI education, countries are able to create a more supportive environment for students and researchers, which can lead to better outcomes and more rapid progress in the field.

    In conclusion, other countries might surpass the USA in AI because they are investing more resources in AI education at a young age and creating a more supportive ecosystem for AI education. By prioritizing these areas, countries can position themselves to be leaders in the field and to reap the economic benefits that come with it.

  5. I am the only girl in our family so my parents kinda want me to have high grades and I did so but amist of all their expectations I simply want to enjoy life and draw…but since I need to keep up to my studies I often forget about my own hobbies and instead let myself drown in endless schoolworks

  6. i had this teacher that would teach us what we needed to know, not the extras, not the unnessessary stuff, and by the end, like one or 2 months b4 school ends, he would give us time to work on a final project where we let our imagination go wild, like it had no limits. It was my favorite thing at school

  7. The worst thing is school teach kids that there’s always only one right answer, but meanwhile actually in life there’s no right answers
