Students should not be looked upon as raw materials

Definitions of the term 'Raw Materials'.

The basic material from which a product is made.

Material before being processed or manufactured into a final form.

dictionary.com ( for the definition directly above. I am not sure where the first definition originates from. )

Did you like the photo of the plastic bottles in an assembly line? I do not want to have assembly line students, teachers and researchers at DIY-U. At DIY-U we think way outside the box.

When you read the definition for raw materials, given by dictionary.com, it could be quite accurate in some respects. The students start out a fresh level and once they have completed their course they are at a higher level - sorry for stating the obvious. It's a bit cold to think of students as raw materials. That's just my opinion anyhow. In future posts I will write about the factory model of schools and schooling in general.

My independent study in Math/s

When I was growing up, I had a phobia of sorts for maths. In the UK, we call it maths. My maths skills started to improve when I had started junior college. I have decided to start my own independent study of maths. I have ongoing health issues. However, I will do what I am capable of doing. As self directed learning plays a huge part in DIY-U, I will find the necessary resources and I will teach myself. I will evaluate my learning. I am not interested in gaining a certificate or certificates for my maths studies. There are many self taught mathematicians in history. I am not saying I want to become a mathematician. However, I do want to improve my skills in this subject. I will conduct my studies at my own pace and I will most likely continue with the practice until I decide to end the self initiated learning project of my own creation. Here is one of the solutions I have created as a result of my explorations in math/s. http://www.projecttheremoteinfluencer.org/2020/02/succes...

Aero skittles is the name of the new sport I have invented

I have invented a new and creative sport. Aero skittles is the name of this new sport. Google gemini has helped with the name choice for this sport. I am impressed with Google gemini. The original name I was going to use was, disc skittles. I'd entered this data into Google gemini's website This is how they then came up with quite a few choices. I went with their Aero skittles name as it fits in with what the sport is all about.
