why don't students in school ever learn something fun?

Question

I go to middle school and I never seem to find any sort of experiments in science fun math is boring because all of the mathematics we learn is never applied to any practical or fun ways. WHAT THE HELL!! If people want children to learn more why don't they ever show the fun side to learning things ways to apply it to something fun.

Answer 1

Fun is what you make of it.
In eighth grade, my teacher had us plot coordinates and connect line segments between them, making shapes.
We had number puzzles -- using certain digits, make an equation with 50 on the right side...

In science, we got to choose our own term projects. If your science teacher is like that, you can choose to do something fun, right?

Answer 2

There is a federal law called NCLB that all schools have to follow. It is a very stupid law. This law makes teachers have to teach so much stuff during the year. All they do is teach what is going to be on state tests that students have to take every year.
It is cheating, because these state tests are done to show how good the SCHOOL is doing and NOT the student. However, most teachers tell the students that the tests will count for the students grade, and try to make them study more, to look good for the SCHOOL. It is horrible.
So, teachers don't teach anything fun because they don't have time, becasue of this stupid law.
If they did teach things fun, the kids would probably do better on the states testing for THEM to look good.
Seems like they would see that.

Answer 3

You have to apply yourself and just deal with it. Yeah, it gets boring, but not everything is going to be fun. Math isn't that easy to apply to something "fun" without teaching everything first. It also depends on the teacher. The only reason why I pay attention in math is because I have a funny teacher who cracks stupid jokes all the time, but when he's in a boring mood, I don't pay attention (which is not often, thank god).
Personally, I enjoy high school more than I liked middle school probably because I have good teachers... in general that is. The better the teacher, the more you pay attention.
As of now, you just gotta pay attention. Tired? Make yourself coffee/tea/hot chocolate in the morning before school to wake you up a bit.
Good luck! =]

To find out the answer to that question, please read everything that John Taylor Gatto, twice winner of New York State Teacher of the Year, has ever written.

Lets just say that rich corporations have a vested interest in making sure that children learn to be good little drones and worker bees who have given up hope of thinking anything interesting or of leading independent and interesting lives.

Answer 5

Because teachers don't have time for fun, they have to teach towards state tests, which prevents them from doing the interesting things.
