“Sitting in a classroom desk year after year becomes very boring to most teens. Sure, you learn things that are important, but it doesn't seem real, it doesn't have a purpose right now.
Real learning comes when the people in your life need you, when they need what only you can provide. When your genius solves the problem, when your labor provides the food on the table, when your skill gives the people you care about a better life, that is real learning.
Self-directed education, then, begins with a purpose. You want to accomplish something of value, and so you reach for the knowledge and the skills you need. When you have accomplished your purpose, you know you have added value to your life and to the lives of those around you.”
