The Question Girl Week 5 - If education was your responsibility what would it be like and why?
This weeks question didn’t get as much engagement as last weeks, which isn’t a negative. I’m learning along the way and figuring out what other people enjoying answering question wise. It’s definitely made me realise that it’s probably a lot harder to get decisions and answers out of people than what we realise. Take voting for example, everyone’s always encouraged to do it and we always moans that nothing happens? Well is that maybe because nobody is actually voting because they aren’t taking interest in what’s around them and the society that they live in. Take my questions for example, people aren’t jumping to answer the question which makes me think do people care about these things? Do you care about education still even though you might not still be in education?
The live was well, I had a few people join listening to the answers that were given previously and was mainly me just having a chat about education and what people think of it. I had mentioned that the reason why I’m doing these lives is not only to give people a place to say their opinion but also a way to help get things changed that we don’t necessarily agree with or isn’t actually morally right.
The answers that were given were amazing, they ranged from life lessons to money management, to learning how to grow your own food and live a sustainable life. I really enjoyed listening to the different answers and thinking of what it would actually be like if kids did have that right environment. I had went on to say that if a plant isn’t in the right environment it won’t grow, so it’s very similar to a human. If a child/human is not in the right environment they won’t learn or grow as a person.
Homeschooling was also spoken about as I had asked another question to one of the replies I had got. I wanted to know their opinion on homeschooling and what they thought and they had given such valid points both from a positive and negative perspective. I was given 2 replies, both detailed but one more detailed than the other which I had really appreciated. They had taken the time to actually answer the question properly and give so many different points and perspectives, it was something that was so nice to read. Whilst also being quite inspiring to be able to share new information that even I didn’t know.
Overall I was really happy with this weeks live for many reasons, mostly because of the detailed answer and the lesson that was learnt. Not everyone is going to care about the things that I feel people should care about and that’s okay. I just need to find those to do care, and are willing and open minded to even have a conversation that could potentially turn into a solution. The world we live in today is always full of opinions, but it’s the ones that actually use their opinion to try and change is where it’s not always encouraged. Let’s learn to use our opinion to help change negative things within the world. We’re not going to change it over night, but we’ve got to start somewhere.
