Blog Post 38

The concept of the school reward system is a very interesting philosophy. I had an extremely intelligent man once explain to me this philosophy and I was taken back. In short, we go to school and study as hard as we can to receive numbers in a subjective, biased manner on a scale that the professors decide is “suitable, ” when in reality, they don’t know how hard we, the students, might-or-might-not have studied. 
Is this how school should be administered? Why should we even have to go to school? Does it even prove how smart a person is? Do students really learn, or do they just memorize information? I believe that this form of schooling is only effective in the research realm of innovation. It allows for serendipitous innovation in the classroom setting. Additionally, it is a good way to teach math. But, overall, for a lot of students is isn’t necessary. Most jobs nowadays could be learned by didactic teaching supplemented with hands-on experience.
