I find most teaching is weird, unnatural and controlling tongue
  emoticon I'm for self-directed education with a supportive
  mentor *nearby* but not the focused, direct, "in your face"
  teaching we do now. Same. I started writing down "What School
  Needs to Do" stuff since I was in middle school. I knew it was
  wrong then how they did things. I know how they *should* do
  things. But nobody's gonna listen to me :P
