18 year olds shave been in the educational system for over 10 years. They should be able to have a say in their education and how it is received in order to make it better. They should be able to evaluate how well their teachers taught them and decide if any passion or enthusiasm for learning came from it. They should also be able to know what they are getting into by going to college. If a teacher sparked a passion within them for a subject, that should also be known. They must be able to know how long it takes to transfer and achieve their goals, so that they can try their best to beat the odds of transfer rates. By criticizing education, the knowledge learned can be passed down for future students. This will help change the way some teachers teach and strive towards a better way of learning.
2) Should we critique ourselves?
There are mixed feeling for me about this because of the consequences of critiquing oneself. For one, I believe we should look into ourselves to find our passion and learn more about how we learn and act. This is so we can make ourselves more engaged in learning and find out what we have to do to achieve that. The downside to finding our passion is that it could cause family problems. Parents usually play a role in choosing the path for their children. If they do not think that the passion that you have is sustainable to live off with in life then they might refuse to pay for your education. This will cause problems for you and your family, so sometimes it might just be better to keep it to yourself. I know people should put themselves first, but sometimes family and other things will get in the way, especially if your family is not the most well-off family out there. I mean, how will you give back to those who raise you if you do not raise enough money to pay them back and thank them for all they have done for you?
3) Is there a difference?: Being Afraid to Fail vs. Being Afraid to Succeed
There is a difference in my mind. Being afraid to fail means that you try your hardest in what you are doing, that you want to get a good grade. I think of it as "I do not want others to see me failing at what I want to do". Being afraid to succeed is more common because it needs a stronger mindset to change to being afraid to fail. If those who are afraid to succeed used to constantly slack they have to completely turn around their habits. By succeeding, classes will only get harder. Their mentalities can change into being afraid to fail. It really goes back to how education was taught when you were in grade school. If you did not care much, it takes a lot of personal will to change that.
