Book Analysis One- Milton Chen (Education Nation)

I found alot of things intersting in this first chapter of my book education Nation, for instance on the bottom of page 14  when it states " All that goes on in most schools and colleges today is only a thin slice of what education can become". Wow, sad, b ut true i would have to agree theres so much out there that how could we possibly squeeze all that knowledge into 12 years.  education is a lifelong pursuit for everyone, i believe that some what, i think alot of thingswe have to learn on our own. through learning these things we can ask more questions and find more answers, however there are a few things i dont think we would find on our own for instance things i learned in my 2nd year of college.. yikes.... or dates of major historical occurences. I loved reading the great school reform hoax of 1984 , the 11 points agenda made complete sense to me  escepcially the last one, "make school exciting challenging and vivid", i couldnt agree more!!!! Another quote in the book that really hit me and made me excited about becoming an educator is " education is hard work and that is true, but it is also great fun, an everlasting delight, and sometimes even ecstasy."  its like our good friends Albert Einstein used to say: "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I do agree with the book when it says the harder you work for something the better youll be at it. This i have found to be true in my own experiences in life, so id have to agree.I also loved the strategies on page 30 i ALWAYS believe in praising the child whether they did amazing or not so great thats of huge importance to me. I know what it can be like, to feel like your your failed and your the worst and youll never be good enough but thats not true you just need agreat support system backing you up telling you that you can. Someone like friends or family or in other cases a teacher or trusted adult. From what Ive read so far im impressed and excited to keep reading!
