Conclusion School isn’t the same for everyone. People experience things in different ways, and one person’s ideal can be another person’s torture. One person’s bright happy environment is another’s sensory overload.

We were learning passivity. It wasn’t important whether we thought we were learning or whether we found any purpose, the activity was predetermined and our task was to go through the motions as best we could.

They give children grades and put them in different classes according to who they think is doing well, and who isn’t. Those whose reactions to the education system are very different from the norm are identified as having ‘special educational needs’ or perhaps being ‘gifted’, depending on which way their differences fall. All of these approaches are based on comparisons. They compare an individual with others.

The only reason we were doing it was because the music teacher had told us to do so. In order to waste our time in this way, we had to switch off our powers of critical thinking. We had to stop asking ourselves why we were doing this, because there was no good answer.
