A few days ago I came across Be the Creature on TV, a show with the Kratt brothers. I practically grew up watching these two, ever since I was around four years old and maybe even younger. I liked how they made learning things exciting. Same for Bill Nye the Science Guy. With him, science was really fun to learn. And it got me thinking.. why can't more documentary/learning programs be this way? I enjoy watching regular documentaries and all, but I can understand how a lot of people would be put off on that kind of thing all together simply because, well, most documentaries tend to have narrators with monotone voices. Unless the subject matter is really interesting to me, even I become bored.Speaking of which, why can't learning math in schools be put in a more exciting way? I really hate math, but I would like so much to understand it better. I would like to understand at least the very basics of how physicists solve problems with math, too. Part of the problem is that learning math is just boring for me and a lot of other people. Similarly, learning science can be boring for some people (although for the life of me, I can't understand how. Some people out there are probably wondering the same thing about me and math). Science and math pretty much go hand in hand, so why can't teachers find ways to make even math exciting?
