This torpe of making learning fun needs to stop.
Things in life are sometimes hard. We need to go through hard things to create great things. Let’s instead teach kids that they need to do hard things to become great people. As a footnote, it will do wonders for their dopamine addiction (which is fueled by everything being fun and easy).

- mandmandam 3y ago> This torpe of making learning fun needs to stop. Ehhhh, bullshit. Making learning fun isn't just about making things easier, it's about making concepts stick. We're mammals. Look at how mammals learn - they play. > Let’s instead teach kids that they need to do hard things to become great people. There's no reason a class teaching that very concept couldn't be fun. And what makes great people great isn't the fact they did something hard, it's that they did something great. Something with meaning. The hardness isn't the point. Power steering doesn't make for worse drivers, and difficult homework alone doesn't make great mathematicians.
