nerdy me. whats wrong?
school.
what comes to your mind?
friends? games? playtime? getting good grades? companionship? a no-choice must go thing in life? a neccessary path to success in life? escape from parents? place to be cool and hang out with friends? gossipping-mates?

me, school: learning and learning: fun

i like to learn. i like to understand how my world works.
i like and eagerely learn.
my sister says im a werido when i can remember bits of my food chemistry off-hand and relate it to daily life. like how her luo mai kai spoils easily because of oxidative rancidity.
i thought it was cool. to know why things happen and how things happen.
i think to do that would require internalisation of the knowledge learnt in school..

dont you think?
or maybe you think im a nerdd - too.

maybe i am a nerd. whats wrong?

i like learning. never lost that zest since young.

i think at least half of the children in the world enjoyed school/ their first learning experience. If they have had the blessing of education.

why do we lament about it. its our blessing.
give thanks! how many people can't learn.
dont say: "aye, they like it cos they havent really gone through it"

i think we havent been treating our education the way we should and so we are sick of it. we are sick of grades and the striving for it. NOT learning.
the striving killed our zest for it. blinded our eyes to the joy of learning.
or for some, the failure to get good grades has been like a bucket of cold water doused upon our passion for learning.

i love to learn. i like to see new things about the old things that happen all around me.

why does my sister not like science? if i heard about oxidative rancidity of fats not in the LT but when my lo mai kai turned badd, i will be so amazed at the science!!
(and my sister will say: oh, i have a werido for a sister)

what's wrong. i think that's more interesting than LT learning!
Science itself is so amazing.

why? why do we limit our perceptions to the general stereotype of freaky science students, accquired from mindless misconceptions from American TV with students who gossip in school and try so hard to be cool, but end up being nothing useful really. (or if you cosider a vase an useful object then, they are)

these ridiculous TV shows extol ignorance and groundless stereotypes and deceive the public about the magnificence of science knowledge.

okay, that was emotional. but give it some thought!!
how do you share passion for learning without being emotional?

do you enjoy school for learning?

or do you go to school to hang out and chill with friends and pay no attention to the lessons going on??

Im glad i go to school and enjoy the learning- what it was supposed to be.
