Schooling today is based simply off test scores, and that is wrong. A test score does not show someone’s creativity, logical thinking ability, or the type of person they are. With all the ridiculous state mandates on education, who were made by lawmaker who have no idea about education and live in their own political world, students are being turned into just another number and are constantly being judged simply on the score they received on a test. Education is about way more than a test score, it is about learning. Learning is not simply memorizing history facts, math equations, and grammatical rules, it is much deeper than that. Learning involves opening your mind to the world around you and using your knowledge to accomplish your dreams. Schooling is headed in the completely wrong direction and it needs to change soon.

The author interprets genius as having the ability to think not based on past experiences, but with a completely open and clear mind. This allows a person to come up with new ideas, as they are not being restricted to what they have already learned. The authors believes the shared strategies of genius are looking at problems in many different ways, making thoughts visible, producing not just a few ideas but many, making novel combinations, forcing relationships, thinking in opposites, thinking metaphorically, and preparing for chance. My genius hour project requires me to think outside the box and come up with numerous ideas to solve the same problem. I will then be able to use the idea I believe will be the most successful. My plan will also need to be drawn out, making my thoughts visible and closer to a reality instead of just a thought.
