School Teachings Vs Real Life Learnings: Did I go to a Wrong School?

Hi sweetie. Good examples you have there. One thing though. Nothing is a greater teacher than life itself. No school can teach you what life will teach you. That is why we learn each day, no matter what your age. TATA.

Hi friend.. I never liked school during my school life. Yes real life is like a book of learning. and yeah we can learn lots of.. But I guess school is also important as it is the part of our life to learn something basics.. But yes after school and studies life is much different then before.

hi sid...after a break .... yes practical knowledge is very much different than the lessons in books...and we need to mold ourselves according to the requirement or we can't handle situations with our bookish knowledge...so the life itself is a big school and we should try to keep balance between the two...

Hello sid, Lol, that is really interesting interpretations dear Sid. I think we are confused with the teachings in school and the lessons we learned in real life. School education is just for certificates and our life is teaching the real and hard lessons. Each day we are learning new lessons and these lessons are practicable in life unlike the lessons in school.

You did not go to the wrong school. You went to a school that broaden your way of thinking, see you were taught to learn through the dynamics of life. It is up to us to determine whether what we picked up from school teachings was right for us and apply it to the school of life. The Tycoons that sleep for lesser hours are the ones that have early heart attacks worrying about how much more they can get. Whereas the good sleepers wake up, praise God for being able to breath and well the rest comes when it comes, yet we live healthier and yes we worry about money but none of us have heart attacks when we loose that one dollar from on efforts. The rich have fits when they do not get that one dollar. I see the difference, no??

Schooling is such an important part of children's upbringing. Most of school is factual, maths, science etc, but the teachings you are talking about is not from formal education. Its from personal contact. Those views and values you were taught aren't part of any government curriculum, but are the beliefs of most decent people. People believe that everyone should be treated equally (as there personal situation allows). Racism and other discrimination is a learned behaviour, usually learned from parents. Schools teach ideals, while parents teach their own values, no matter if the rest of society agrees. I was taught the same things as you at school, and my parents reinforced these things at home. (Not that i'm suggesting your parents didn't!) some people are raised without these values and thats when people don't respect their elders, and racism exits. So no, you didn't go to a wrong school. Some people just learned the wrong values at home.

My mom tried to teach me #1 but she failed! My school started so early and yet I Wouldn't go to bed early and I still don't! #2 I did wirth my parents but not with All my teachers. In fact I learned at my first public school that not all teaches are nice or Deserve me respect. In fact there are two that I hope rot in hell. But my parents were older when threy had me so I have more patience with elders. In fact when I see an old person step down from the bus I say to myself easy does it! #3 was taught at home.My mom was colorblind, meanig she treat Everyone the same way regardless of color. And she was gay friendly , meaning she was straight but not narrow. She would treat a gay person the same way she would treat a straight person. She treated children as small adults . I mean she gave them her full attention and she would speak in full sentences , not baby talk. At school my teachers just taught the subject . The kids taught me when they teased me , that I wouldn't belong with them and in return I ignored them. Thankfully by highschool we were indifferent classes!My mom taught me that too. If they are going to disrespect you , don't associate with them.

School teaches theory and life gives practical experience. When I was at university I found that I learned more when I was on teaching practice than at the university. Some people attend an educational establishment and others go to the school of life. When we grow up we live within a society. Each person should be a decent person in life and money doesn't make a person happy. I think it is sad elderly people are sent to live at an old age people's home. I have learned the best things to have are good health, happiness and good luck.

what an irony, isnt it? life for me is the great teacher. in truth, only a little of what is taught in school are useful. the greater part is what we learn in our lives and with the people and places and occurrences that we experience.

Look friend, these are all maxims and they are the usual social trends that we all are supposed to follow. But who or how many of us are sticking to this norms. Hence a drift has been created between our text book knowledge and the practical life knowledge. Besides the saying "Early to bed...." has its application. It has never said you sleep less. But you should sleep in time and if you go to the bed in time your sleep requirement would be over and you would be fresh the following day. Is not it scientific?

Hi sids... Well.. there is a vast difference between educational and practical life. According to the lessons.. we were taught to be a perfect human... but in this arena we are not human we are struggler just wearing some musks of human. This is not the ear of so called naturalism... it's the era of machinachisim( my own spelling). So, you cant judge all them according to some so called lessons although those are valuable and be sure i don't dare to ignore those lessons. Take care.

Hi Thesids, School only teach you the theories of how thing work and you have to experience it by your self. So, theories may not always right, but it might be right for certain circumstances. Most of the time, what we learn in school can never be apply in the real life, for example, you learn calculus in high school, but in real life, how any time are you really use calculus to calculate? I believe 90% of people will tell you they never use it at all. That is how things work. And sometime, things like history, can be recoded or interpret wrongly by certain people where they have a stern thinking in various aspect such as race, religions and politics.

Hello, Finally, tell me the moral of the story........., it should end up like this. It is just like the duty of a police man. While in the uniform, he should be respected and if in the civil, no one know who he is. Like this, we have a lots of thing are taught and just like the learning of parrot, we learn everything without knowing the meaning. These things also the same. Life in principle and practical have difference like this. Some times the elders used to say, 'what I want to tell has told, now everything is upto you'. Like that we are learning for the sake of learning and no one tries how relevant is the same in our practical life. Meera

Hi man seems to me you have been having a tough time resulting in these bad vibes. about the first one just because some tycoons sleep less does not they have everything in life they will actually be more tension prone and have lesses life span. about the second one it is the younger generation's fault that old age homes are there.they push out the old geezers as they are so materialistic and short tempered. and the last one its true that everyone of us are different, each one of us are born unique.each of us have been born with different thoughts,likes and structures.these are all god's creation. But the casteism and racism is not work of God. ITS WAS OUR MISTAKE!

It all depends on how you look at life. For 1, yes quite a few people who made more money do not sleep much, but are they healthy? Maybe wealthy, but after a limit how much more wealth does a man need for a peaceful life. Chasing money all their life, is definitely not wise in my books. Don't get me wrong, you need money, but when you have a lease of 60 years as your life, you need to apportion decent amounts of time to other more important things in life!! Also, don't take this comment to mean all rich people as there are quite a few of them who accumulate wealth more wisely, healthily and with a lot more fun. Coming to your second comment, it is really sad that how far have we gone away from our school education on this. The first real reason why human civilization started to prosper was unlike other animals we started taking care of our elders and started profiting from their advice. Not sure where this will lead us to. As somebody said, we are all the same, but some are more same than others :). On this statement though I disagree with the school education as we definitely are not same either in body composition, or mental composition or in terms of culture. But we all do have the same chance of having a great life and it really does not depend on where or how we are currently, but on those couple of attributes called as spirit and attitude. Because after all this is life which no one said will be fair and as Charles Darwin nicely put it is the survival of the fittest!! Cheers! Ram
