I Think A Lot About How Kids Think They Don’t Like Learning And About How Wrong They Are About It.

I think a lot about how kids think they don’t like learning and about how wrong they are about it.

Kids love learning. They’re biologically hardwired to love learning. They just think they hate it because half of what gets taught in schools is irrelevant to real life and not hands-on activities.

Kids might say they hate school and learning. But like ask any kid if they want to be shown how to make fire turn green. Ask any kid if they know about real life Dracula. Ask any kid if they want to hear about how strong a tiger is. They’ll want to learn about it.

When I was in third grade, my entire class started this weird black market inside our desks where everybody sold different things and we used broken pencil leads as currency. I sold pet erasers I think, they were just erasers with faces drawn on them. Obviously we got in trouble and weren’t allowed to do it anymore, but imagine if our teacher had stopped our boring curriculum to teach us about economics through the lens of the weird businesses we had created? It would have been amazing. We would have loved it.

Kids don’t hate learning. School is just bad.

FrUK Week: July 21st to July 27th, 2019!

Banner was created by @littleartsymely!

Here are the results from the prompt survey! We hope these are to everyone’s liking. The way this works is that there are 2 prompts for each day, and the participants are free to choose between the two prompts. Or if anyone is feeling extra creative, you can incorporate both themes into your works.

Some of these have a or in them because they are more or less the same topics, but could be interpreted differently. Basically, Quirks are the same thing as superpowers, but you do not have to use the My Hero Academia universe if you don’t want to. If you want to use DC or Marvel or your own original superpower for these two, then go for it. The same goes for Magic or Fantasy AU. They could be fairies, they could use magic, they could be fairies that use magic! It’s all up to your interpretation.

You all can start writing/drawing/making edits ahead of time to have them ready to post during the FrUK Week dates, or you can work on them as the week progresses. We know life happens and we can get stuck or don’t have time during the grace period, but it is nice to have works ready beforehand.

We will post up the guidelines soon, but for now, here are the prompts and dates. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you to everyone that submitted prompts and voted. Have fun!
