According to Barry Schwartz and his writing, “The Debasing of Education: Turning Play into Work,” there are two main types of learning, performance-oriented and mastery-oriented (Schwartz, Barry).

finally being legal.” All my life I had been waiting for this magical day where I would finally turn 18. They say that turning 18 is the biggest turning point in your life but my experience tells me everything stays exactly the same. I thought that turning 18 would been so much more freedom.
