Challenges of Traditional Education and Adult Learning

Traditional education can become restrictive as children grow older, transitioning from enjoying the social aspects of school to feeling overwhelmed by tests and homework. This can lead to a disconnect between the learning material and real-world application, as illustrated by a child questioning the use of certain math calculations. Adult learning is most effective when it is practical, applicable, and connected to the learner's prior experiences, reflecting the need to honor their existing worldview and connect new knowledge to their lives.
