I am not against the public school system, but the way it’s going is not very good either. My two siblings were public schooled their entire lives until Covid hit. They did remote school for a year and then my mom started homeschooling them. Now it was absolutely incredible how drastic their academic performance changed. Homeschooling still had its bumps, but my mother found things that the schools never would have found. My sister is a very creative girl. She is fantastic at drawing and can draw very detailed pictures of animals. At public school, she struggled because her class was so big and she would kinda get left in the dust. This photo series is very right. Many schools are killing creativity. People are reacting negatively to this because they don’t want to accept that this is our reality and it’s only getting worse. John Taylor Gatto’s “Dumbing Us Down,” sums this all up perfectly.

Questioning the teachers, is not a well seen thing. You need to do stuff their way or they can't grade you. Or they will complain to parents who also say the teacher is wrong, and then she let all her anger out on the student that questioned her. That is pretty much killing any other way to think

I've seen it done before on a smaller scale. I think it can be done but would have to start from the top with progressive schools leading the way foreward.

I agree. The system is intended to be the same for everyone, but we are all individuals with individual learning needs and interests. Definitely agree with your "dumbing us down" statement - it's something I have seen in my teaching career and also something that has motivated this series. Ken Robinson has also been a great inspiration both for this work and in my teaching.

As a teacher, grading is one of those struggles for sure. Good thing is that there ARE new and progressive schools popping up these days and there are also ways to teach and be educated within the system without compromising on the values. Easier said than done, but it is possible.

It's not so much about giving everyone the same education. It's more about this: https://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_do_schools_kill_creativity/c

Hi, and thank you for your comment. They are actually labeled as AI (see above). However, I used my own photos and also LOTS of editing and painting (pixel-by-pixel) in Photoshop so it's definitely a collaborative effort with AI technologies and my own work. No deception intended as I am an advocate of this new technology and am very open about my process. If you want to learn more about how I work, watch my interview with NYSA here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4clFRRgutE
