Winning from the machine

 I don't know if this kid does this really on purpose. For me, it's a win from the machine.

Happiness

What's the most important in life? Being happy?

or being just?

I'm think over this for about two decennia now. Can it be that we are not supposed to be happy, but we should fight injustice, even it brings suffering to us or around us?

I've experienced that pursuing happiness does not automatically result in happiness. And pursuing justice always leaves a trail of unfulfillment, and you can at most claim:" I've tried. I have at least tried." Doesn't make totally happy either. You're allways left with a bitter left-over that clearly shows it is not finished, not yet. It needs more effort, more dedication, more sacrifice.

Difficult to live with.

When is enough?

Busy....

I've been busy.I don't like to keep my blog not up to date.

But hey, I'm back. Not on maths today, but on education. I am asking myself the last few months what's going wrong with education and school these days.

I assume a few of you still make your way to school / college / university/... every day. Well. I was a teacher, once. I quit, because my students hated learning. It was so disappointing that I stopped. I can't force young people to work if they don't know what purpose it has.

It's different with adults. They want to learn something, they are motivated. They have a purpose, and they go for it.

So what is this thing: motivation? Why is a 14 year old not interested in acquiring new knowledge, but a 30 year old is willing to spend his free nights, aside from a family life and children, in a classroom, after a full shitty day of work? It's a strange thing. I don't know how it works. I know, once motivated, people can move a mountain. Students even two at a time!

What I noticed, is that my students were interested if the learning had to do with novel things, new stuff, so I liked very much to tell stories about recent discoveries, recent technologies, about the world. That's interesting stuff.

So, is there something wrong with the students (read: society in general) or with the schooling system?

Any thoughts?
