•Mass entertainment is optional.
•The vast majority hunger for it, devour it and can’t get enough of it.
•There is a variety of options: TV, radio, magazines, books, music, movies, games, and sports to name just a few. •There is enough choice to satisfy different interests, tastes, wants and needs. •Everyone gains from it by choosing the bits they enjoy and bodyswerving the bits that do nothing for them.
•Education is something that everyone has to take during childhood and into their teenage years
•Some take more of it than others do. Some do better at it than others. Some can’t get enough and some can’t get out of it quickly enough.
•It’s provided in classrooms, online forums, or even at home for some.
•Lots of information is provided - mostly in formal lessons and from academic texts, or academics.
•Some love it. Some hate it.
•You can’t opt out of it until you finish high school.
•What is it that mass entertainment has that education doesn’t?
•Why are some people dragged, kicking and screaming, into early education, and relatively few go onto continuing education?
•Why does a world of billions swarm to entertainment?
Here’s my answer:
•Education is sometimes as tasty as the dusty tomes it’s served in.
No wonder crowds swarm to devour mass entertainment and switch off when educators make things more complex than they need be.
•Education can even bore the pants off people who opt to continue their education.
•Entertainment provides amusement, excitement, fun, interest, pleasure, comfort, play, and relaxation.
•Entertainment feeds people what they love.
•Education is missing vital ingredients. WordisWorth has these ingredients.”

Just for fun, have a go at these questions:
1 a) Are you forced to, and feel that you should go to school or college to get educated?, or b) do you go willingly?
2 a) Are you forced to turn to TV, radio, magazines, books, music, dvds, games, or chat rooms to relax and be entertained?, or b) do you do it willingly?
3 a) Do you look forward with enthusiasm to going to a lecture at school or college where someone will talk at a group of you for a couple of hours?, or b) do you go with a heavy heart and fall asleep?
4 a) Do you look forward with enthusiasm, to turning to TV, radio, magazines, books, music, dvds, games, and chat rooms to be part of it for a couple of hours?, or b) does that sort of thing make you yawn?
If I were a betting person, I would wager that the majority of you answered:
1 – a), 2 – b), 3 – b), 4 – a)
It's not conclusive proof, but it's a mighty strong indication that education needs to be entertaining to attract people to it!
