Hi Isabella, thank you for posting!

The frustrations you share are some of the reasons I chose to go to Holberton School, a project- and peer-learning-based software engineering school in SF! As a former-future-teacher, I understand the need for students (and me!) to question, research, and apply the knowledge gained in practical applications.

Learning is NOT about memorizing facts, it’s about questioning, researching, trying, failing, trying again, teaching others what you find out, and finding joy in the challenge. No matter what field you want to go into after high school, there are ways of getting the education you need without compromising your love of learning.

Sounds like you’re on the right track to change the world, keep it up!
