what did Kubrick think of the education system?
The normal high school curriculum didn’t much appeal to Kubrick — he believed that schools should concentrate on the teaching “problem solving” and not on “rote memorization of the characters in books and plays.” (1) “I never learned anything at school and I didn’t read a book for pleasure until I was nineteen years old” “I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting falling grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.
