To continue on my random line of tangents . . . . . education.
Recently I was talking to someone about education and how they felt it was unfair. It’s fair to say that education isn’t a right and that like everything else in life, you need to work hard if you want to succeed. However, doctrines like that basically make it so that only those who have succeed can succeed again. If for some reason you were born less fortunate and you don’t qualify, ooooooh well. But, anyways.
My friend was talking to me about how he feels his whole life has flashed past him and he hasn’t accomplished anything. He’s only a junior but I don’t blame him. You always want to be at the top of your game and sometimes it hard to be both a wiz kid and the kid everyone wants to call when they want to hang out.
Beyond the social dilemma, I told him that there was hope. That it wasn’t till the end of my sophomore year that I really discovered what I wanted to do with my life. Education in my school at least I feel is a little bias. In many ways, I feel they groom the kids who they know have a bright future ahead of them and seem to ignore those who just don’t. I however believe that all students have the ability to succeed and that it is unfair to not give a child the same chance as another student just because they would require more effort or work.
If education is suppose to accomplish anything, its that we should be teaching our students how to be responsible, caring and notable citizens not monsters who value the future of one student over another because of time and money.
