novel and uh

For everybody, not just kids.
Like imagine if you had to be, you know, sitting in a classroom for six hours a day doing something you already know how to do.
And and I I get that it's hard because there is a
you know, grade levels and the kids are supposed to learn this at each grade level, which most of that uh y is so arbitrary anyway, you know, and there's so much repetition anyway.
So and people are afraid of letting kids
Have freedom, but
If you let 'em work on something they're passionate about, I'll tell you a little story.
There was a
teacher that I was working with who had a
Very
exceptionally gifted child in her classroom and he could
Test out of everything basically.
Like every subject she was teaching in class he already knew how to do.
And he became very disruptive and was kind of making her life
Very difficult.
And so we talked and and I asked her what he was passionate about and she said, Well, all he wants to do is just draw a fish.
He's got he wants to make this sort of Audubon book with h hand colored watercolor ill illustrations of the fish of California.
