Has school become more about passing than actually learning?

[Remaine 4,687]

Title.

[FreshbakedpieTO 111]

Yes , for me 9th grade and above is only about passing not learning cuz they keep teaching us the same stuff every damn year since 4th grade. solar system , cells and human body , plants ...

[MyLife_MyReign 256]

Most probably yes.Most people nowadays just want to pass as life is quite comfortable to them.This is one main reason.I feel the same as well.School never fits in my mind (I don't know why) :rolleyes:

I know the feeling - we must have covered animal/plant cells a million times by now...

 

Well, it's meant to be about learning, but it seems that due to the nature of school curriculums, students aren't exactly encouraged to think independently that much. So yeah, we go to school, pass exams, end of story.

That is so true...

I feel like school is for the most part more about memorizing facts than actually learning how to do things.

[MLG_Mr.Dreyar 59]

I have been in college for almost a year now, I really haven't learnt anything.. at all..  :mellow:

[rampagerhino 67]

True,these days it's so hot in my country that I can't even listen.

Learn for a test > get a good grade > forget almost everything you learned > learn for next test > etc.

but when you get freedom, you don't have the energy to do all the fun stuff you could ha done :(

i would say yes to title

[Fen-Harel 1,176]

Am I the only one around here who actually goes to school to learn stuff and not just to pass? I don't just study for a test and forget it all, I like knowing it, it feels good to know how nature functions... The facts learned I later use to build up on that knowledge. To constantly learn more. I don't think about school as something that will help me get a job, I see it as a way to learn from people who came before me and to help discover new things for the next generation.
