What is most oppressive academia and how can opression be overcome? ( Two solutions to the opressive education system)

            One solution to the oppressive education system is to define the reasoning of why students need education. There are many students who drop out of college and even at our own community college the drop out rate is fifty percent, which is very unfortunate. The word education makes people believe that they need it in order to be successful in life and get a high paid job, but is that the only reasons they need it. Why do they need? These simple questions come into mind when I think about what I am doing in school and for what reason am I here?  People do not comprehend the meaning of education because it is leading us to keep following more rules and being obedient. From the time we start kindergarten until college we students are being told how to live our lives, what our education can bring us, but no one has ever discussed about what the students may have to say. Why? This is only happening because it is portrayed in society that the system knows what is best for us. We cannot change everyone’s view about education, but we can give it a deeper meaning. We may go to school to learn about all these different subjects,but  instead we should ask are these classes going to help them find their passion. Education should not be just about getting a degree then a good paid job,  it should be about a place that will lead us to our passion. Moreover, I believe that the education system needs to help students find their passion in life and let them discover the world themselves instead of giving them a list of rules to follow.

            Another solution to overcome the oppressive education system is that there needs to be more improvement of communication between the teacher and student. If a teacher is just following the curriculum and not putting any of their own thoughts into their teaching than that is not really teaching. That is more like they are following the book instead teachers need to create their own way of teaching because anyone can just follow the book. In order for students to be creative the teacher needs to have his/her own creativity too. One way we can try to fix this problem is trying to change the environment in the classrooms and secondly give the students a reason to be passionate. If they go into a classroom were all they do is sit and listen to a lecture, are they actually learning? They will not be talking any knowledge with them, so teachers need to interact with their students and engage his or her students into the subject they are discussing about. I think this will help both the teacher and student to become comfortable to discuss freely about what they think. This may encourage them to actually speak up in class if they have any questions or in general if they have any comment to make.
