Thanks for sharing,I think schools need to be more open to different kids and styles of teaching and learning, it is a huge problem. I also did not like school for several reasons, and once I was able to talk to a few teachers and make them see that not all students work well and do well with a set standard of teaching and learning things changed. Awesome!

Schools nurture conformity and stifle creativity
