Big Question #6: What is the greatest obstacle to learning?

Going to school to learn is obstructed by many factors. Firstly, the targeted area of learning is students under age 20. During the first couple of decades in your life, you are still meandering around, trying to find out which pastimes you enjoy and may want to pursue in the future. You may try music, art, dancing, sports, and a whole host of other activities. However, when school takes up so much of your time, it is often difficult to pursue other areas of your life which hold more interest for you. Because young students want to spend more time practicing their hobbies (which they choose for themselves out of desire) they often neglect their schoolwork (which is forced upon them without any interest being necessary). The time restraints that we all find in a 24-hour day mean we must force together our interests and schoolwork, and schoolwork is very often the first forgotten task.

Second, the school system requires us to be in school for more than 7 hours every day. Young children have notoriously short attention spans, and do not do well sitting in a classroom for so much time every day. Recess simply cannot release these energies fully, making children antsy in classes. When their minds wander, they do not learn, creating an obstacle to learning.

And lastly we find yet another problem with our long school day. Even if a student has interest in a subject which they study in school, the forced work that the student must do with the subject when they are in classes every day can bore them to a point where they lose interest in the topic. The pressure put on them by our standard schooling system may make them forget why they loved the subject, so they end up hating it instead. Students who have lost interest in a subject because of pressure are unlikely to pay attention or try hard during class, creating a barrier to learning.

Whoever made that should be considered an intelligent rebel that actually knows that the system doesn't work and it could affect the short-term learning in the area of the brain, where you attempt to learn while the memory works within the short-term area slowly disappearing as ages flyby making the student inefficient at learning in an certain method which was the goal of the public schooling system as shown by some dude in the past wanting the nation to have working person who don't care for creativity at all and the best way to kill creativity is providing unnecessary boredom by enforcing people to waste the time long enough not to pursue their own creativity needs and free time thus damaging your desire to be interested in the certain subject which will results in people diagnosing you with an learning disability while your brain is changing as you grow older adapting to different method and changing into different method of learning along with the fact that your body changes from child to being an teenager slowly into the habit of working at night and since teenagers are proven to be working better at night and school will put them to work at day, this can cause sleep disturbance, emotional deprivation, hormonal damages and intellectual damages to the front part to the brain all the way to side of the head which deals with writing and creativity. In few cases, this can cause blindness due to the lack of sleep which has been observed in some teenagers that can't deal with the school schedule and it is most likely they won't adapt to 3 hours of sleep which will make them feel abnormal.

What bobman post seems an slight convincive, but I think there should be an lot more information although what he said is proven to be right, people aren't likely to be convinced with information and background researches involved within it. By background researches, I mean scientific researches.
