I didn't like school much, which left me thinking that meant I didn't like learning. But I love learning, more than anything. School isn't about learning, it's about teaching - it's strange that we universally lump the two of them together.
Teaching needs to be regimented, to a degree - where I firmly believe that learning is a chaotic process: the flow and pace radically shifting, and allowed to do so - allowed to both stumble and soar
The issue of course is that school doesn't aim to teach children to do much other than to behave and conform within traditional work structures, so fuck it
I mean gosh, I remember at UNIVERSITY I almost failed an essay because I'd spent too long combining different schools of thought & threads of research to theorise. "this is fascinating but I can't give you any marks for it". Only recollection of learned facts, please 
I can see this thread being shared as an attack on teachers - just to be clear (I assumed it would be?!) it absolutely isn't? This is about curriculum aims & the currently enforced structure of what schools *do*. I don't think I've met any teachers who align with those aims.
I'd just argue quite seriously that a huge amount of the good that schools - as *places* - do, is in spite of what schools as an institution aim to achieve. If you disagree with me on that then that's fine - but apparently needed to clarify.
