Schooling is not education part 1



education

for most people
school and education
is synonymous

but for others is not so

for following the logic all people who go to school are educated
and if school is compulsory so most people go to school in west
then following those lines of logic everybody in the west is educated

but the next thing interjected would be to a degree
just as it is synonymous for people that those who have a degree are intelligent

for where does that leave in the general consensus those who do not go to school or have no degrees

for in one of my previous posts i talked about autodidacts
people who taught themselves

but aside from that making school redundant

what is this prevailing canopy which suggest that schooling is education

i remarked before that education comes from the greek meaning to draw out or bring forth

but as in the  video^^

and this video^^^

the symptoms created by the over arching theme of school is education

and that an exam will decide their fate
when it is you who does so

and how individualism is not incorporated
in schools
but individualism is the basis of education

and for the fact with school you are praised for following and being obedient
and shunned for the opposites

and that you are never reared to be your own teacher
Good Guy Teacher

for most students it is a day of rejoicing once they hear these scenarios

school is closed
teacher is sick
or reading week
Lazy College Senior

i even heard a man who can twice over be my dad
yes very weird
make a joke about going back to school and how he feels like a kid

where schooling and education is synonymous
and that education is bound to school

and the foolish notion of their is a time for education
and more noticeably it is for the young

but he is not alone in this thinking
for many people
they can not wait to leave school and work
and even celebrate never touching a textbook again

many people put this down to school just making people cram
and their education is revolved around exams rather than learning

to be fair their is always one teacher who breaks the mold and students look forward to their classes
