Hello Folks! I have just created a crazy little thing in my mind. Would you mind if I ask you, sincerely, what is the real essence of being a student? I'm not asking for what you think is the ideal reason in universal, just take a pause and try to be conscious of this thought.. I know you have many answers in mind so speak it down folk! I really appreciate every little coment you can tap on this!

Well I personally think a lot of time is wasted at school, I can honestly say the only things I learnt at school that was of any use to me after i left school was reading and writing in fact i have since learnt that a few little things i was told at school were completely wrong anyway...I learnt more from my parents and life experience itself...

in response to that, you really gave me an interesting feedback indeed. Thank you Ms. lilaclady. I can notice the wisdom that your simple resonse has made. In addition, all lessons you need in life could not be all learned inside the quarters of the school. It's best experienced outside, the real world, the real life..

Yes I have always believed they should teach more about the outside world, prepare the kids, teach them things that will help them, instead of just reading silly text books about things that really kids can read about if they want to...
