Throughout my life, I have been trained in the same scenario:

There was a teacher who taught, assigned homework, graded, praised or scolded. And I was a student who diligently completed all the tasks and studied in order to pass tests, tests and exams, and then forget everything like a bad dream.

However, now my approach to learning has completely changed. Life itself has become my teacher. I no longer have a teacher, no one observes and does not give marks. I learn and draw experience from situations that occur in real life. This approach is the most active and natural way to learn.

I receive lessons and knowledge from living experience, with real examples. If I make a mistake, it has consequences, and not just a low mark in the notebook. I actively learn the world in practice, and not limit myself to dry theory, I improve my skills.

I am only at the beginning of my journey and still do not know how much, but I am learning every day and gaining unique experience. I don't think anyone who is currently in their first year at university has as many experiences and opportunities to learn as I do.

Most importantly, I do not learn abstract and useless things that will never be useful in real life, but only what has practical application and helps me achieve my goals.

The modern education system, especially in Russia, is terrible. It destroys the personality and creative abilities of the child, making him a gray mass.

I learned that there is a Montessori method. This is a method of teaching children where independence and freedom are encouraged: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education
