88. Obedience + Competence ≠ Passion

[From Seth Godin, Stop Stealing Dreams http://www.squidoo.com/stop-stealing-dreams]
 

The formula doesn’t work. It never has. And yet we act as if it does.

We act as if there are only two steps to school:

Get kids to behave

Fill them with facts and technique

Apparently, if you take enough of each, enough behavior and enough technique, then suddenly, as if springing from verdant soil, passion arrives.

I’m not seeing it.

I think that passion often arrives from success. Do something well, get feedback on it, and perhaps you’d like to do it again. Solve an interesting problem and you might get hooked.

But if it takes ten years for you to do math well, that’s too long to wait for passion.
