Why Creative Learning Is the Best Education
Humans are not meant to sit down in a classroom and consume information, expected to be able to retain it fully and to understand it intuitively. Yet everything is set up that way, and that is why many students find themselves at academic disadvantages. Our brains just don't work like that. We tend to soak things up better when we are 'under the influence' of something, like a drug. We are better at transferring information into solid knowledge when it actually reshapes our brains, and that is exactly what a drug does. Using this logic, drugs are actually good for you. They make you think differently. We could have the same results without drugs only if we made the school experience kind of like taking drugs, providing brain-reforming experiences so that you can get some skills and progress in the things you like.
