Yeah.
Yeah.
And we all have experience with it, too.
And I think a lot of us look back on our own schooling and go, oh, that sucked or that wasn't fun, so who cares?
And I think you're right.
It's the most important yet least sexy thing you could possibly talk about.
When we think back to our own schooling, believe it or not, oddly enough, we were in school during the golden era.
If you were in school basically from around 98 to about 2008, 96 to 2008, in that window there, you didn't know it, but you were hitting home runs.
Everything about school.
That was when more kids were succeeding, more kids with the gender gaps were closing, racial gaps were closing, more kids had access to it.
That was it.
but it still wasn't fun and that's where people think learning should be fun right working out isn't fun sometimes when you need to move your biology in a new direction which learning is you're forcing your biology to reinterpret the world around you it's a slog it ain't easy it needs structure now it doesn't mean it can't be fun it just means it's not going to be fun 24 7. but i think what by bringing in tech now so when we went to school i think just think of tech we had i think
typing class once a week and um uh word class once a week where they taught us how to use ms word and paint and all that stuff today kids are spending in the us right now over half of our kids are on a computer one to four hours every day for learning and over a quarter are four or more hours every single day on a screen so the whole structure is kind of shifted in there
With that then has come a very big change of meaning.
We're talking about school crises.
When was the last time you heard of school crises in military schools?
They don't exist.
Last time you heard of crises in an art school?
They don't exist.
Or a religious school don't exist.
