#1 These tools will enhance our learning when grades don't matter anymore because it will help us interact and do things of our own without taking grades in mind. In which the knowledge and profit we achieve from it will be for our own good and not for what is expected of us. I understand that most kids from a young age are built to follow rules and do just that. In which they aren't able to build characteristics of their own. Having no opportunity of deciding for themselves. These skill of opening up and having free-play will help identify ourselves and get to know what we really want from ourselves.
#2 These concepts can help for the Ap exam in which we look for answers more into depth than just what the teacher has said. Along with not just knowing the answers but understanding why that is the answer. This can inspire others to do the same because nobody has done this before and don't understand the true meaning of free-play when grades don't matter anymore. It would be like a challenge to prove that you can break the rules and follow your instincts.
