"Especially for teenagers, school doesn't always provide the best setting for learning." (175)
I completely agree with this statement. Some people simply aren't cut out for the 8 to 2 concept of learning where it's mostly sitting at a desk listening to the teacher. Like I've said before, I feel that to truly learn, one must be doing something. The outside world allows for so many more opportunities to learn by doing than a school ever could. Many teenagers have a hard time connecting what they are learning to real life. By going out into the real world, it will help the students make that real life connection for themselves so that their motivation and understanding will grow. I know that if I had been given more opportunities to learn outside of the classroom then I would have retained much more knowledge from high school than I actually did.
