I don’t know if I’m wrong here or not (I’ll assume not because it feels good), but I feel like teachers need to find better ways to motivate students. I find myself in nearly all of my classes (including the 3-hour whopper I’m in right now) dozing off or browsing the internet aimlessly. When you live the way I do, you really don’t think about the future too often, so when you finally think, “I should start paying attention in class, I’m going to need to know this in life,” you’re already on the couch rolling a Katamari with your thumbs.
I don’t necessarily have one proposal for teachers. The truth is, you went to school to be a teacher and you likely had the exact same problem I’m having. So, since my battery is dying, I will end with this:
Attention all future educators:
Focus. Please learn how to properly teach the future of our race. Knowing the kinds of people I went to high school with that are now training to teach, I sometimes worry about our future offspring (not all of you, I’m sure some of you will make amazing teachers). This is serious business, people. Sure, the world is making amazing progress, but without your help, that progress can easily come to a screeching hault.
