Education

Creative thinkers can't be contained in the box of traditional education. That is a difficult situation for any but the best of educators to deal with. I always heard the same crap from my teachers. He doesn't perform as well as his IQ says he should. Performs below expectations.
Well hell yes! I was bored beyond tears. I spent most of my time watching the real world out the window or sketching things I wanted to build. I only had three or four teachers who could really challenge me to do my best. They were all science and math.

I don't think teachers don't like creative students. They just realize how much of a challenge they are.
My field is electronics repair. I love it because I want to understand how things I can't see work. I've always been pretty good at my job. I think a good teacher needs the same skills as I rely on. You might not be able to see the direct results of what you do or can only measure some result of what's going on.
Teaching, like my trade are as much art as science.
