Modern Education
We at Commonground we have a problem with how modern education seriously affects our abilities to effectively solve problems and how we live. The Quote below sort of sums it up for us.
“The way that school seemed to me was that there was an overt curriculum – reading, writing and arithmetic – and a covert curriculum, which was more or less punctuality, obedience and the acceptance of monotony. In a lot of cases it seemed that school was like aversion therapy. It wasn’t there to teach you knowledge, it was there to put you off learning. You associate learning and reading with work and you’d associate work with drudgery. This is why most people are happy to just sit down in front of the television at night and think “I’m not actually doing any work, therefore I must be having a perfect time”.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
