More Creativity in Learning

Dread. That is what many people feel towards going to school. Instead of seeing education as a privilege, many people see it as something we have to, but dislike. Without a college degree, it is difficult to become successful in the specific career that you wish to achieve. However, there may be one solution to end the dread for school. Creativity. Professors have to be more engaging and creative with their lesson plans in order to have their students more engaged as well.

From my own experience, I remember my classes much more clearly from elementary school than I do from high school or even college. Back in elementary school, the teachers are more determined to provide a fun, successful, learning experience. By the uses of art, music, or other creative games, I learned much more effectively than I did in high school. For example, I specifically remember the process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation due to a song I learned at school. Having to do visual aids for research projects helped me connect better to my subject and help me learn more successfully. Unfortunately, as the years progressed, the classroom went from being a fun learning environment to a sleepy lecture room.

I never wanted to miss one day of elementary school and was constantly awarded with perfect attendance. However, that is not the case for high school or college. Even though the students are older, we still enjoy having a fun learning experience.  Education should be something we desire to have, not just need. Many people go to school because they have to, but instead, we should want to. By creating an enjoyable learning experience, students will grow to love education instead of hating it.

Now, more than ever, education is the most important aspects of our society. In order to prosper, we need everyone to get an education so we can get further in science and in math. Many accomplishments can be made. Dropout rates can decrease and education will not be something students dread, but something they can be excited for.
