As I said, I'm not a scientist, I'm a comedy writer. Children don't hate learning - they just hate school. As important as it is, school is the process by which we harness up our children so they can be put to work for our society. We impose structure on their unbridled free spirits. For a few hours each day we take away their spontaneity and make them focus their energies on things that often don't interest them.
School is where many children get their first tastes of failure and inadequacy.
Nobody tells them to write to us. They do it because they want to know. The hunger for knowledge is out there. Get the kids on your side. Instead of imposing structure on our audience, we appear to be chaotic.
