Overall, Honors Colloquium was a well taught class. I would only recommend it to those with an open mind, eager to learn. Those with closed-minded viewpoints about nature will be furious with the class and will not have a good time. This class is not going to get me running around outside 24/7 preaching about saving the environment, but the things I learned broadened my horizons of the issues going on in today's world. It makes me worry for my future, as there is much more trouble than just our current economy.
During the last class, we also debated over the rigidness of the current school system and the pros/cons of it. It was very interesting to point out how schools are moving further from pushing creativity, but rather extremely keen to pushing sameness (almost Communistic if you will). It makes me worry what kind of schooling system my future kids may have to go through at one point. Now that schools aren't even realizing the importance of recess scares me, which was a blessing when i was in elementary school. It truly is disappointing.
