Do believe teachers at a certain point should be allowed to ask students what they want to learn about? I'm not incredibly well versused in this. But as someone deeply traumatized by the American school system. I think it would have been far less so, if I was given the option to choose what I'm passionate about. Parents aren't the only ones who should be involved in their kids education, kids should be to a degree imo🙂

Occasionally that's fine but as a general principal hell no lmao the bad kills the potential positive that can happen as a result and "this is why we can't have nice things"

I totally think children should be able to guide their own education. Also, I think education shouldn't be mandatory. And there are so many other things wrong.. children shouldn't have to sit and be quiet all day, they should be able to go to the bathroom, they shouldn't have to rote learn a bunch of facts and crap, they should be encouraged to think for themselves and be creative, they should have better, more useful and socially enlightening subjects available, etc.
