More on Learning and Fun

Not all learning is fun. Period.

I take pity on school teachers. I don't know how they do the teaching job and deal with the kids with all the different challenges they have, then how they deal with administrators.

It is hard enough to teach kids, I can't imagine having to take responsibility for their test scores. Even fantastic teachers can't guarantee fantastic test scores. Why? Because the student is involved. How do I know this? Because I teach my own kids at home and I know what they understood and saw that they demonstrated that they learned. I thought they learned it and they were "done", then later they forget it and act as if they never heard of the concepts before. It's frustrating for me to handle with my two kids. If I were a school teacher, I can't imagine handling it for 20-25-30 kids in each of my classes.
