Flow

On Feb 20th Lacy gave us a couple of quotes to read from the book Flow. It talked about exploring life on your own, finding a sense of achievement and enjoyment, for enjoyments sake and not to base it on others expectations or measures.

Trying to link this back into class, I feel like we were all born with this sense of thinking. The idea of adventure, of climbing the trees in the backyard or playing games like hide and seek. These ideals were then slowly and systematically replaced when we entered school. In search of results and empirical evidence, schools taught us how to think critically, to analyze, giving us information to critic rather then exploring it ourself.  We were given to tools to decipher the world around us but never the drive, the imagination or creativity. I mean when has school material genuinely been interesting?





Just  a little blurb fueled by Flow's quotes. What do you guys think?

    I think it's interesting how we're born with a lot of the things when will used for the decades to come. Like you said, we are born with idea of adventure which I think is very interesting.

    I agree with the school material idea, I mean preschool and Kindergarten are fun, then you get to first grade and the material isn't fun or interesting at all
