Away with Teaching.

So a school made by student with no teachers? I feel like that would make the song "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd quite redundant. But how can a school be governable with out authority, or a hierarchy or a power hierarchy? Please read the sarcasm in my voice. I think something like this could be a wonderful concept, except for the fact that I need to make money one day and I am studying to become a teacher and so need school where there are teachers. But, putting my selfish desires to one side, and being selfless, I feel as if this could be a great step forward. Adolescents would be able to venture into a field they are interested in. They can have absolute knowledge instead of approximate knowledge of things. I know for one that I would love to have ventured into drama and music more than having to sit and learn science which I have consequently forgotten. So to me the world seems like magic, but that is besides the point.

Only at university did I start really enjoying my field of study, after having to plough through subjects that I didn't have an interest in. I could have been one of the children in the video we had to watch for this blog saying how happy they are that they got to work towards something that genuinely interested them in. But I guess I am able to what pythagoras theorem is. Then again, so is Google. So, yes, again, this unteachered school sounds like a dream come true. But then I must say, having guidance as a child growing up helped a lot and the only thing I would add to this wonderful school would be gurus in the field of interest. People with experience. People with absolute knowledge about their field.  

In conclusion, this is a cool idea. I like it. I approve. Lets all have absolute knowledge instead of approximate knowledge.
