Unlearned: A Student's Perspective on Bridging the Divide Between Schooling and Educatedness
"An eye-opening authentic account of the modern educational system and why it's not working coming from the perspective of a high school senior ranked in the top 1% nationally of her graduating class. The observations presented are insightful, mind expanding, and beg to be explored further. A must read."--TKR
Over the first 18 years of their life, the typical American child can expect to spend roughly 19,320 hours at school. In this time, students are supposedly taught fundamental life skills as well as prepared to strive for excellence in their personal undertakings and productively contribute to their communities upon graduation. Underneath this vague conception of educatedness, however, lies a less optimistic reality. Many students harbor an inarticulable sense of discontentment with the progress they are making in school.
