Aged Education

            To say the least our educational system is very out of date and needs serious reform and innovation. Cognitively our brains attention span is very limited to less than 10 minutes to learn anything. To sit in on a 50 min or 3 hour class our brains will only retain and get into the first 9 min and 59 seconds of the lecture. After that time span our minds begin to drift to what we will do after the class is over, what other work must I get done besides this class? And I’m hungry what will I eat after this class? In the educational system we have been taught well to memorize and recognize what we have learned but to analyze and break down concepts or analytically think we struggle. It’s a taxing process on the brain it is mentally draining to bring one’s mind that deep into thought. The speed at which one learns is different to person to person as well as from male to females because every brain has a different neuron makeup to it. The larger the brain tissue the Cognitive process within our brain is increased one must practice to master deep thinking and obtain knowledge. A class size greatly affects the ability of a student to learn, the smaller the class the more one on one support and a greater chance given to each student to succeed. Education for anyone will come at the right time and the right place of study. If an individual that has no pleasure or passion within their life education is the number one problem.
