I am eighteen years old, who quit school.. so I have an incomplete education.
I quit school because of the way they taught , I could not learn from The lectures or just listening or writing down notes , it's too under stimulating. It was unfortunate for me too because I went to a school that only had a graduation rate of 26%, and the teachers seemed uneducated or not always knowing what to do. I do not remember anything I learnt in high school, elementary or junior high school . once I learnt it , I'd do a test and dump the information on it, pass and exceed the test and then 1 or two weeks later I forgot everything and so each time I go into a new grade in a new class I'd have to relearn everything and the teachers would sometimes assume I am lower intelligence but I am not. And so it made going got school worthless , because I was not learning. I remember my friend in school saying " if you cannot remember everything in school, then why go? It is fruitless ." And I mostly had trouble with High School, it was so face paced. To not what I am used to, and I am usually a slow paced person. I have average intelligence , it is not that I am associated with below intelligence or learning disabilities but them at I have a different approach with learning and because the way the education system is now, hasn't changed in years and there way of learning starves creativity . I am wanting to go back to school but I want a school that works with my needs, that's suitable for my learning abilities , I do not want a school where there's lecture , systematic , and controlling , like regular schools. Teacher talks, you write notes, study for test and that is all. I want a school that's experimental and where you learn through experiencing and hand on activity. A school with a creative and innovative way of learning and outlook . Does anyone know where I could find it ?
I am wanting to complete my education, and then meet people there, form friendships and then I could have my life back on track.
