Isaac Asimov Essay

write a brief essay describing how the love of learning can inspire a vision of the future.


     "Now a days, what people call learning is forced on you and everyone is forced to learn the same thing on the same day at the same speed.." Isaac Asimov's quote portrayed above is the reason why individuals now a days tend to dislike learning and school. Because schooling is based on a common core curriculum, some individuals like school and some hate it with a passion. Every individual that attends a school is subjected to learn how the school districts want the students to learn. The students aren't given hardly any say in how the education should be ran or circulated. I believe that school should not be based on a common core curriculum because of the fact that everyone is different in the ways they learn, obtain knowledge, and express themselves. If school was formed in a way that it granted individuals the ability to focus on subjects they are appreciative of and that they care for, then students would have a greater passion and love for schooling. It would ignite our participation in our educational activities, spark our love for education, and overall make educational facilities a better, more comfortable place for everyone. If we were given the chance to study what we love in the school place, our love for education would greatly increase and also inspire a vision of the future. Whether a student is infatuated in baseball and wants to create a technological advance in the baseball industry or if one is passionate about the plantation of organic crops and wants to make an advance their, there will always be an inspiring vision of the future when we are given the chance to study what we are passionate about.

    Another wise quote said by the magnificent Isaac Asimov, "The number of teachers is far greater than the number of good teachers," is another reason why the love for education is not as high as it should be and the inspiration of a vision of the future is limited to only those individuals who have a general passion for education. Ordinary teachers who follow the "ordinary classroom procedures and rituals" are no fun and we all know that. If more teachers followed the not so ordinary classroom procedures and neglected the common core curriculum, more students would love school. If more teachers were like Dr. Preston and allowed students to have more freedom and say in the classroom, our love for school and our visions for the future would be greater than ever. Not only could it potentially lead to an innovation and revolution in education, but it could possible start a new genre of learning in school places. All students like my peers and me want is more freedom, say, and flexibility in the classroom. If more teachers realized this and granted their students this, the advances in education, visions of the future, and love for education would be outrageous. 
     
     All in all, I think that if teachers and staff who are employed at educational facilities became more "unordinary" and more flexible in the classrooms, then the students love, passion for school and their creative visions of our near future would ignite a revolution in the school place and educational facilities. If students could study material they are passionate about, our future would be in line for a great, new innovational beginning.
