- One incident that changed my view on education would have to be in the 11th grade. I had been accepted into my first AP class, computer science. Of course i was prepared for it to be difficult but i thought it would be worth it and it was. I grasped concepts easier than i did in most classes and it all came easier to me. This is because i work better with hands on work, opposed to other forms of learning. However i realized that other kids were struggling because 1. Thats now how they were use to working or 2.Because that’s not how they worked best. I realized it was a huge step up for me but a real problem for them. At the end of every unit our teacher would do a survey and the survey would ask various questions and one would be “what do you want to change next unit?”. I’m guessing multiple people asked for less hands on experiences because that’s exactly what happened. I then found myself struggling and frustrated that i couldn’t work. That’s when i realized education isn’t perfect, and that it’s not meant to be perfect. You can’t please every student but you have to find out what works for the majority. Even if others might have to work hard to grasp a concept, that’s still how it should be looked at. Furthermore it especially made me realize that if education was an exact science neither me or another would struggle with grasping concepts due to wether we are a hands on learner or not.

So Hasani, you kind of disappeared on Monday, which is too bad! This is an interesting topic for sure, and I’d like to hear more. I would like to see a scene here– it doesn’t really seem like you watched the video from the assignment or went through the exercise with me. I’m not really sure how you’re drawing the conclusion that education is not perfect or not meant to be perfect, or what you mean by that (what would a “perfect” education even be?) More concrete things to focus on would be: what kind of hands-on work you were doing, and what that was like for you (why you liked it) and also what happened when it stopped, and why losing hands-on work was more boring and a worse education for you. That is a fascinating topic, and something your readers could really learn from.
