    Before that I was like you but honestly you should read it. It's beautifully written and lays out the blunt truth. It's also really funny at times.

    I haven't, I've never been that interested in Steve Jobs in all honesty. Is it good?

    Totally agree. The best part of about self-learning is that it allows you to learn at your own pace.

    Have you read 'Steve Jobs' by Walter Isaacson.

    Definitely self learning at my own pace.
    Even though I'd probably learn better with more structure this suits me better

    It is. What's you're preferred method of learning?

    Sounds like an interesting approach to learning and teaching

    Totally agree. One of the best parts about going to an IB school is it's a lot of self-learning. So basically the teacher sets up a project for us and gives us some basic articles to base the project on that are generally really interesting. But to get the higher grade levels, you need to go deeper and find additional information in other websites and such. They also don't do like 10 lessons per term so it's much more relaxed and you don't lose the information over a long period of time.

    As a future teacher I have done a fair bit of study on that kind of thing, basically you'd learn a lot better if the information could be given to you in any format you could connect with or through topics that are meaningful and relative to you. The things though, is that this is much harder to achieve in a high school setting.

    I agree. I watched it yesterday and I found it really interesting. Like it was really fun reading up about relativity and such. It's just the fact that teachers believe that drumming things into your head helps you learn. Sure it sticks for a while but I can't really remember it. Teachers should find a way to incorporate movies like this into their learning. That actually provides a joy for learning. I don't know how they can do it but it's an idea.

    Well fair enough:D

    I'm with you there, the things I love to learn about rarely came up at school and certainly don't in my uni course haha. I remember I used to have conversations with my physics teacher about random stuff like sub-atomic particles and the fabric of space time - which confused him because he was yet to discover my autism was the reason my grades in that subject were crap (Not that I want that used as an excuse).

    I find the stories pretty interesting, but I can't really get into comics. If ever there's a 600+ page book based on the Dark Knight movies I'm in though haha

    I actually love learning new things but well you know how they go about it in school, right? Plus, it's a Christopher Nolan movie so it's bound to be really complicated.

    Not exactly. I love reading comics but generally can't find the m anywhere. I'm big on the Marvel and DC film universe though.

    First I've heard of studying to watch a movie xD

    Not really, I assume that you do?

    Yeah, I'm really excited for that. It's supposed to be really complicated though, so I'm reading up on wormholes now.

    Do you like comics?
