JustThinkingAloud

I had an episode like that about 15 years ago when I thought that the world is a horrible place. Once I realised (as you did) that the world is constantly getting better compared to where it was 100 years ago, it made me feel a bit better. The main thing was that change doesn’t happen overnight and also that someone has to do something to change it. It’s very hard to change the whole world but we can change our little world and see where it leads us. And yes, there are horrible things in this world but there are also beautiful things too that are worth persevering to make this world a better place.

I’ve been wondering about that. Nowadays, when we can google anything we want and find the answers much easier than 30 years ago, what is the point of making our kids memorise things. I’d so would prefer them to learn to be more creative, progressive and collaborative. Is really playing a horrible thing? Isn’t it how children learn, through playing. I think that we’re stalling because of the current education system. I grew up in the eighties and the fast progress of computers was so exciting. I thought that by now we would have holidays on Mars!!
