After reading several dozen comments, one common theme I keep reading is about the corporate survival structure. In the field of technology, the corporations have constantly done business with none other than the mean ol' government system. IF it wasn't for them, many of these name brand company's would not have made it through the Reagonomics era. What I'm saying is not that radical either. Then again, I understand; some of you are libitarian capitalist who despise the present system and its authoritarian structure, so I'll skip over the university research department like MIT and... ah whatever - do what you will.
" I never found any value in the school system so I never bothered to study... hence the main reason I'm unemployed."... You're blaming the "system" for your unemployment?
Sorry Dr. Phil, but I wrote that line in the form of lite humor.
IF you want to teach someone, show them why they should learn the material. I never found any value in the school system so I never bothered to study... hence the main reason I'm unemployed. Anyway, for subjects like mathematics you could show the student something (e.g. source code) that might incorporate the topic.
You could say the John Dewey style of education would be a good idea to try. If my memory is correct, Noam Chomsky went through an early school system based on the Dewey ideas an he turned out intelligent - albeit a little radical, but still intelligent.
Also you could say Mortimer J. Adler's system "The Paideia Program". Or the Jacques Barzun... oh hell there are a lot of hypothesis on the education system. People learn in different styles.
