Professor Johnson was discussing on Wednesday that systemic obstacles exist in how we think of education. The common mistake (for lack of a better word) made by students is the goal to achieve success based on numerical grading as opposed to actual educational and intellectual gain.
I inquire, how distracting is the narrow objective of obtaining scrupulous grades? Does it completely hinder acquisition of true knowledge and obliterate critical thought? Is life so consumed with the occupation that its creates a further barrier from not only academic alternatives but pervades to all facets of ones actions? Myself, I strive for nothing less than academic excellence, however I do recognize I am making negative concessions in regards to the totality of educational possibilities. How would you characterize yourself?
I will be responding to this post on my blog!
