Our Education

What is education? I think of it as the knowledge, skill, and understanding that one receives from attending school.  Yes I believe that schools are providing us students with the education that we need but they are teaching it to us the wrong way. I believe that the education schools provide us with is only temporary because students only learn though memorizing in order to earn a high grade, pass the class, and try to be accepted into a college or university. The problem is not the students but rather the school itself. Who could possibly remember every single fact, equation, story, or vocabulary word that they learned during their school life? Yes, there are those occasional students who possibly can remember all of this but what majority does not. In my opinion I think that schools are teaching us but there is too much extra information involved. Students should be taught the right way, without grades. Although I am not going to go in depth on this since it is not what I should be talking about.

Schools teach students how to react in certain situations, how to be social, polite, friendly, etc. We learn what is needed in order to know how to handle the real world. Something else I believe about schools is that they help students find their true calling. They help us find what we are passionate about, what we want to be, what we want to achieve in life, and what we plant to do in order to make our dreams become a reality.
