Day 9: How important you think education is.

I think education is important to a certain point. We should all know how to read and write so that we can communicate with each other. We should all have that basic understanding of how the world works. Such as math and science and grammar. That's all wonderful up to graduating high school. After that, I think it should be more about learning through experiments...like hands on work. I hate the fact that I have to sit in a class room setting. I'm intelligent, you just wouldn't be able to tell based on my grades. I think college education should be based on what your capable of doing rather than if you score high on a test. After all, the saying goes "It's easier said than done." Sure, you can answer the question right on a piece of paper but when it comes to application, can you really do it? Are you really going to understand how to do it, in real life, and not just a scenario? Think about it, the world is designed for people to interact with each other, to do things together. We were given brains so that we can analyze each other, communicate, to act and react, and to work together. The world doesn't stop to ask "Which of the following answers is correct?" No, the world hands you a problem and says "Show me what you can do." And I think education should be focused more on that kind of learning.
