Education needs to be the vector in which new generations of geniuses are born, it needs to be how you figure out how the world works, why you should think for yourself, and why it is important to question and tackle anything that puzzles your mind because these things WILL be the deciding factors in which our future is bright and expansive, or dim and short lived. At this moment, the American Education system does not achieve these things wholeheartedly, the few years after a human child is born, they are taught to walk and run, they are taught to chase whatever life they want to lead, then when they are enrolled in school, they are expected to be quiet, and regurgitate information onto a piece of paper, forget the information, and pass. My own experience hasn't been encouraging, it has been breaking. I love learning, I do not love being told what to write down in order to leave. No, I do not support the current Common Core National Standards.
