[003] My Issues With Traditional Education
It pisses me off when I think of the traditional schooling system because we spend a good chunk of our lives in school, yet it does a shitty job preparing us for life's biggest challenges and teaching us how to be happy.
The educational system tests our intelligence based on a limited set of criteria, it discourages mistakes and failures which are necessary for growth, and it prevents us from exploring our curiosities by promoting a culture of obedience, fitting-in, playing small, and following the status quo. And the crazy thing is that we Asians are born with a PhD in all of this growing up in our culture.
And when you think about relevant skills, where were the classes on managing your emotions, navigating social dynamics, learning home economics, or acquiring financial literacy? We go through these experiences every day, yet most of us graduate from school, get thrown into the world, and need to figure it out on our own.
So what's the solution? I honestly don’t know have the answer yet, but I’m working to gain clarity through my coaching journey by gaining the right experience and meeting the right people. I believe that one experience will lead to another, and this will also allow me to create a ripple effect to inspire a new generation of people who change the system in their own ways.
