The Passion Project

In this movie, The Passion Project, it spoke to me, because I could relate to what they are saying.  Like how people get up every morning and have this passion to learn something new.  Once they get there its dull and boring feels like forever in the classroom.  Every day in my classes I find it boring, because it’s the same routine in each class.  Sit down and listen to what the teacher has to say and what the teacher is teaching, then your next class starts.  Then it’s just one big circle until the day ends. Its technically just one big "Blurr" that I just want to end. But what exactly have you learned inside of the classroom.  Do you just sit there, listen, and all of a sudden you understood everything the teacher taught the class about.  No that’s not how people work now-a-days.  People need to study constantly on the material they just learned.  All it’s causing is for people to self-teach themselves of the material, because the teachers is too lazy to make it understandable and easier for students to learn it the "easy way".  Most students in classrooms just wants to learn the easiest and quickest way to learn things, not the complexity of how things work and how to do it correctly step-by-step. Students wants the "easy way" as in just teach how to do it the quickest way possible.  Especially in math...why do math instructors assume students wants to learn the long way in doing things and go by the book...students in this current time students are more fond of the quickest way in figuring out the answer and that’s what will make them pay attention more and study more.  I for one is becoming an engineer and there is all of these math and the teachers would only teach us the long way in doing things and I'm sitting there in class thinking to myself "Come on, show us the next thing".  I'm sure every student in math has come to dis conclusion of just wanting the class to end because they are uninterested with the material even though math is what they need to become the major they strive to become and passionate about.


This movie opened my mind to things I havent come to realize up until now.  All teachers who has been teaching for more than 10 years, lacks passion for becoming what they wanted to be a "teacher".  I feel like if teachers wants to have that passion they had 10 years ago, then the students must show that they are important and not just another textbook but a textbook that can talk.  The students sitting in those chairs, especially those stubborn students who interrupts the class all the time, they just want to be out of the classroom asap, because they feel like they are just sitting there listening to things that’s not important when in this case it does.  Every class matters and you have to treat it as if the career you want in the future that’s the required class you need to graduate from a 4-year or go to a community college and transfer out to a 4-year. 

I also feel like teachers’ teaching in the summer has more passion than those of others.  All teachers wants is a break from all the teachings and chaos and grading they have to do and they just want to relax. While teachers teaching in the summer has the passion to forget taking breaks on the summer and teach more students for that’s what they love doing. I am currently taking a summer classes and I love it. The teachers are great making it feel like it’s not even a class and just another hangout spot while learning stuff critical to human society in which case is education.  Those teachers that’s taking their breaks and taking a vacation, those are the lazy ones.  Now unless they wanted to teach summer classes in which case is a whole different thing.
