I have had an empty slot in my education blog for a series, but I have struggles to find something good to fill it with. I recently came up with a corny concept, a diary of a stereotypical student. I will likely follow through on this concept.
When I say corny, this would likely have some similarities with my previous Hypotheticalvictim posts. I'm not going to pursue realism. Instead, I'm going to exaggerate what I see in the schools in hopes that people can see problems when they are magnified.
The idea will be to look at how students typically think and act from my perspective but written as though it is from the perspective of a student who fits certain observable patterns. Since I haven't actually written any of these posts yet, I should have some flexibility to tweak the concept a little before starting. I also need to come up with a decent and semi-readable format.
Education has taken on contradictory meanings. Some of us reject using the term to refer to our schools. It can be stated that our schools are at war with education. This blog was initially developed for the purpose of sharing some quick (rather than conclusive) pro-education/anti-schooling thoughts. This has been expanded to include a voice from the other side of the war. Admittedly, this voice was picked for its tendency to show the absurdities of the pro-schooling/anti-educational side.
