How has your learning experience changed since leaving school?

[jennifer_bloom]

In school I learned through theory and forced juxtaposition

Outside school I learn through imitation and social exposure

Before school, I learned through palatial governance and essentialist self management

Girl, I don’t know what any of these mean but what I do know is that formal education is meant to force people to memorize and tests are meant to regurgitate what we ‘learned’

I learned a lot through trying on my own. Filling my taxes, writing checks, cooking, nothing through formal education.

It's more structured towards what I specifically need from day to day. I have to make myself learn things that aren't needed for work so that I can maintain balance. So I end up scheduling time to learn something new and fun that isn't related to work.

Learned way more useful stuff in life outside of school , i feel like i know a little bit about everything or just enough to get into trouble
