Passion Class

I think the Passion class should have students critique education. For one, it is the students education after all. The students are paying for their classes and spending a lot of time on education so why shouldn't they be able to critique their education. The same goes for teachers and professors. Many professors can critique their different classes and may have a preference in classes depending on their students and overall class. I had an English teacher back in high school who would tell my class how her other class was in comparison to her later class. I admit, it was rather amusing to hear what she said to say, but sometimes I didn't want to know because it was mean. Not to the extent of "Oh my god, that's really mean. How could you say that!?" It was more jokingly, but still. Every student critiques their teacher outside of class when we are waiting for the teacher. Seriously, for my English 102 class, my peers would have this little group and critique what we are doing in class and how our teacher is this and that. It happens ALL THE TIME. It's natural, so why not do it in a class where you can be open about it for education? Many students share the same thought or opinion so it's not like you're the only one thinking it. 

Every student should be able to look into themselves. Many students might not even know who they are really or don't know what to do so it would help a lot to explore their interests and exploit them. If a student doesn't know who they are then how will anyone else? No one knows you better than yourself. That's a given. When you know yourself, there is no need to pretend anything. I think when people truly know themselves, they have this sense of confidence because they can take charge of their life and they know what they want and what they need to do to get their. People who know themselves tend to have a game plan for their future and get their work done to get there. It would be hard if you don't know yourself because you will be lost in the middle of so many possibilities, but don't know which one to take because of the lack of interest in getting to know yourself. My mom has always told me, "Before you learn about someone else (as in boyfriend/girlfriend), you must know yourself to be happy". Amen to that!
