As much as I have loved learning over the years, I was really turned off early on. I found myself daydreaming most of the time. School was simply not fun for me and had this idea that I should be just as excited as when it was recess and we were all playing. I envisioned something similar to what Sudbury Valley School in Massachusettes is today--a more individualized approach with assessments that would identify interests and learning style.
I think the early grades are essential for building foundational skills. From that point on, I would like to see fewer subjects, but deeper content and exploration based on the preference of the individual student.
I don't pretend to be pollyannish and think it is simple to make changes of this sort quickly or easily. However, It seems like a good direction to move towards.
I would be interested in hearing other perspectives and experiences. Did this move you toward becoming an INFJ?
