[MoE] Pt. 7: The Dark Night of Education

Day 2,616, 08:57 Published in Austria Austria by exkrementensammler

Soon thereafter Victorian oppression took a pleasant evening jaunt and turned it into a stiff, stuck-up, politically-correct, overly formal oration, complete with straight-backed wooden chairs, monotone voices, and schedules. Education was done for.

Gone were the days of fluid, spontaneous experiential learning. Gone was the ability to say, "Hot, Dumbass." Gone was the exciting terror of learning that tigers were sharp at one end, fire was hot, and those slimy orangish mushrooms were not good to eat. All of this exciting, novel, and engaging learning was replaced with textual and graphic representations of such exciting events. No longer could one watch Zook get chased by a tiger, or Thomas pick up the plague from a rotting corpse. No longer could one learn how "not" to hunt a mammoth, by watching someone else do it incorrectly.

In the place of exciting and novel learning was "modern education". And it sucked.

In the Morning of Education, students were interested in learning. Education contained something valuable for them - entertainment, excitement, and and life-changing information. "Modern education" lacks all of that. And so we weep. For the children.
