I've often thought about this - I suffered at school because the subject matter quickly seemed to arrive at one or more foundational concepts to not be explored further, whereas my brain would constantly ask, 'but why?'. The relentless pace didn't suit me at all. Nevertheless I learnt to override this in time and now have a BSc and MSc.
- andai 8y agoDid you begin a parallel learning project for actually understanding the material?
- growlist 8y agoWhen I was at school you mean?
- billysielu 8y agoI had that problem at school too. It felt like a denial of service attack.
- techstrategist 8y agoThat’s interesting, I shared the “but why” until mid way through a BSc in Physics. The foundational concepts of “this is how {thermo|mechanics|quantum} works” was exciting, but the remainder of each semester was “now let’s work through all the edge cases” and I had difficulty keeping up.
