Value of education part 2

Education is not going to make you conform to the society. In fact, it makes you think by learning new things. it is more than passing the test by reading and quoting the book. We are doing it because we are trying to bring our thought process to the next level. We are doing it because we want to learn new idea and to exchange ideas with our fellow school mates. Learning is more than reading. It is an experience and a time for us to think, to learn and to grow.

It is true that we don't stop learning or growing. We learn new things and to grow our mind. We need to expose to new ideas and to create new ideas of our own. We learn to be more open minded and to learn about how things work.

As side from theories, we also learn a lot of practical things as well. We learn how to write, how to communicate and how to express our idea. We learn math that will help us in our daily lives. We learn about history and politics because we want to learn about where we come from and how our system works. We learn about physics, chemistry and biology because they surround us everyday. All these subjects are going to expand our mind and make us to be a better person.

I feel bad for the people who put education down. I am educated in a few school systems and none of them is perfect, but I learnt a lot from each of them. Secondary education is the best as I have exposed to lots of new people and ideas.

There are things that you can learn from the school, like technical skills. They are important for us because we live in a world that we do little things to contribute to the overall health of the society. Specialisation is the key but some people don't believe that. We already out grew the hunter and gatherer society. We need corporations and other businesses to do well. I careless what people say about big company pushing small businesses out. This is just part of the game. You wise up or you could be eliminated.

School opened my mind to ideas like that. There are always ways to be an individual without conforming to the norm
