According to the document “school killing curiosity why we need to stop telling our children to shut up and learn” tells us that young student are being force to learn and their questions aren’t being answer. Schools are forcing student to learn and not letting them ask questions. School should be the place where student are more eager to ask question and learn. When I was a kid I was interested in aviation. I’m still interested in aviation till these days. I love learning about aviation. I’m always curious how we improve so much and what it feels like being in a metal cage at 400,000 feet in sky and what it’s like to take a 40 ton metal cage up and down in the sky. I’m still interested to learn more about aviation. Asking questions helped me a lot to get more knowledge about aviation. When i was first interested in aviation i barely knew anything about it but slowly as i was growing up i started to get more curious about aviation and was more eager to learn about it. My curiosity changed over the years by getting more information it slowly started to make sense. Often I think about becoming a pilot. I will become a pilot if I know more information about what it takes to become a pilot. School played a good and bad role in my curiosity because they provided me some information about aviation. I want school to have more courses about aviation and technology. When i was asking my teachers they barely knew anything about aviation therefore i didn’t get much information. I had to watch YouTube videos to learn about more Information. However it not same as asking someone person to person. When you ask someone they will give you more accurate information cause some these Information in online isn’t accurate.

It’s interesting to learn how different architectural designs can affect the way a plane flies and how mechanics work on such a large aircraft. It’s unfortunate that it’s hard to learn about aviation in regular public school, but I know they have specialized aviation schools if you’re ever interested in pursuing it even further. I’ve also heard that it’s required of pilots to have exceptional eyesight, without glasses & contacts, though I’m not sure if that’s 100% true.
SIDE NOTE – There’s also an aviation museum in Long Island you can maybe visit one day!
It is interesting to learn about aviation as well as the sciences behind it. Like Cindy said, it is sad that public schools do not offer this option to those interested in learning this field. However, regardless this is an interesting field to pursue as to how the aircraft may work.
