True Education

                Schools believe that they make students ready for the life that is ahead of them. Although, what students learn in school has little to do with the problems students face in their future. School teaches students how to read and write, do mathematical calculations, know about the history of the world, and so on. The truth is, people have no need of these types of knowledge after they become an independent person and face the world. That is why, it is believed by many people that schools do not serve the goals of a true education. True education would be preparing children for the inevitable, and teaching them what they need to become a successful person in life. If a person wants and is going to aim to become an English major, why do they have to learn advanced mathematics and science? Instead of helping the students, this will only result in the student receiving a low grade, and therefore a low Grade Point Average. If a student takes classes that are relevant to their major, they will most likely be more interested and enthusiastic whilst also receiving higher grades than they would if they took classes that had nothing similar to their field.

                It is important to know mathematics, know the history of the world, know the science, know literature, but it is all a waste of the instructor’s and the student’s time if they are not going to have anything to do with those subjects in the future.
