SCHOOL

I feel a nice rant of school is necessary to relieve a little tension. School, been going since I've been born, basically. If all school is, is to better your intelligence then in reality you have been going all your life, and will never stop. People never stop learning from day to day, but in the structured organization of school, it is more of focused aspects such as the regular classes being taught since forever, it feels like. Math, English, Science, Physical, Languages, Art, History, and whatever else I forgot but those are the basics. When it gets to the collegiate level it becomes more descriptive. You find yourself becoming funneled into one certain field, besides relearning all you did in high school as quickly as possible. But College, I feel it is a matter of time and respect for yourself to WANT to learn. I have heard it from a professor before, College should not be based on a grading scale or GPA's , but solely for those who want to learn. If you don't want to learn then what are you doing here, wasting money? That has been the clearest understanding of continuing education to me, there are people who want to learn, and from my view those who are to an extent forced to learn until they fail out. School is nothing but time management. Those who use it correctly succeed, those who don't struggle. But in the end yes you have a better % of becoming successful, but it is all about connections and people you know. There are, I'm sure, a good amount of people who have failed in school but become successful in another aspect of life, because of the people they know. That is all, and I feel better.
