Thank you. Too fucking right. I'm dancing!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm biased as my father's a teacher, but I always felt that education was there so that when you finish that, you get to do fun things, rather than some drudgery form of paper or burger flipping.
ReplyDeleteEducation equates to freedom - that's why children in developing nations will walk miles every day to learn. But in most developed countries kids already have access to tv, xbox etc, and don't understand the potential.
So I'd say that if we're to really create a vibrant world of UGC etc, education is essential.
Only very lucky people can dance well without being trained.
I guess the point is that for most people it ain't a dance, more of a forced march. Too often we're being taught to march in one direction and as fast as we can.
ReplyDeleteThis just says it ain't all about the end product.
Not sure it says education is wrong, just that our system of education is too focused on someone else's end result?
Yes - or that for most people it is a forced march with an illusory end point when it should be dancing (and music making) along the way. Or art for arts sake. But unfortunately that's life - if most people don't knuckle down to the illusion there will be no room for us parasites who just like to dance ...
