Fear or Frustration. Worries for Public Education.

For quite some time I've had concerns about school...concerns and fears.  I decided recently that I should make an attempt at writing it down to see if I might be able to organize my thoughts better.  At the moment it's all just a bundle of frustrations and half-understood fears hiding in the nooks and cranies of my mind.  I need to get them all sorted out and see if I can determine if they point me in any sort of direction.

Don't take that to mean I don't support the public education system or that I don't want to become an educated person.  I love to study and that's exactly part of the frustration.  There seems to be something about my personality that makes it so that school drains all the motivation, determination, and curiosity out of me.  Part of what I would like to find out is if that is a real ... "incompatability" with the way the system is set up, or if it's just the normal frustration and struggle of getting an education.  I understand that school is not easy and I know that most people don't enjoy it.

Perhaps when I get it written I will post it here so that others might have some understanding of what it is I'm talking about.  Until that point I will continue to push ahead.  Turning back is not an option.
