The problem with school is not a new one. If one studies the early educational literature that are many decades old, they will find observations that are uncannily similar to the modern classroom. A stale classroom failed to develop creativity or critical thinking, and students were graduating completely disempowered of the ability to learn on their own.

"Perception is everything”. I often struggled with an unpleasant feeling when being a student in the classroom, or watching other teachers teach. I later found out that this was a heavily discussed issue in the education world. What I am referring to, is the feeling of apathy, or disengagement, caused by the belief that the activities of schooling provided no value to the student.
