Learning Doesn’t Have To Be Boring
The other day I was on Amazon looking for a good novel to read.
I read all kinds of different books, and lately I’ve been in a mood for popular fiction, so I was sorting through various bestsellers.
Turns out that you can choose all books by a certain author and sort them by ranking. So you don’t need to sort through all the reviews.
This got me thinking about textbook process, and how schools choose the textbooks they use. I decided to look up some language learning books, just for kicks. I figured learning a language is something that happens both inside and outside traditional school, so it would be a good comparison.
A Hidden Industry Of Cons?
I chose a few languages, and did some sorting. And guess what? The ONLY category where textbook type books were the top of the list was price. They were the most expensive, but they WEREN’T the most popular,and they WEREN’T the highest ranked.
Now, I don’t want to get into the whole argument about textbook companies and how they get chosen to be the ones who write the books we ALL are pretty much FORCED to learn from, but it’s pretty clear that there’s LOTS of better ways to learn.
I mean, if somebody decided to learn a second language, there’s NO WAY they would choose a textbook that is being made and sold to elementary or high schools.
They would choose a book that’s designed to help people learn, rather than make a ton of cash for the textbook companies.
It’s Not Supposed To Be Fun
If you remember school as a boring, unhelpful, and time wasting experience, it’s NOT your fault.
The system wasn’t designed to help kids. It wasn’t designed to give them the best possible learning environment.
So, what IS the best possible learning environment? Firstly, you’ve got to learn something you WANT to learn.
Second, you’ve got to be in a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can go at your own pace.
And third, you’ve got to learn in way that you were DESIGNED to.
In reality, all of us are programmed to be lifelong learners. There’s literally no limit to the stuff you can do in your life, once you shrug off that false notion that learning happens ONLY in school.
Unleash your natural learner, and start to get what you REALLY deserve.
