Formal Education Is A Waste Of Time by Idriswhite(m): 11:05am On Jul 19, 2013
Life creates problems. The number of problems one is able to solve in a life time determines the podium one rises to in the strata of life. To solve the many problems confounding humans,practical, analytical and spontaneous education is called for. It is a pity that fake thing gains popularity faster while genuine thing remains in the obscurity. Our society remains stagnant because its major components are tied round the frail neck of formal education.
Formal education consumes unnecessary time in one's ephemeral life with its curricular that undermine one's observational power and at the end gives one something that will help life foster the problems it creates. Formal education inflates one's ego upon nothing tangible but foreign language that has no localized linguistic and conventional interpretations. It teaches no moral but how to unmasked the fables of moral with trivial claims.
Formal education gives half baked humans that are fragile in the face of problem because it has no uncorrupted instruments for measuring true test of knowledge unlike the counterparts that makes one practical during training period before it eject one into the veins of the society. A carpenter is known for the works he does unlike the thousands of them out there that cannot pin point there relevance to life upon the printed papers of different rankings they carry about because they never use their brain while in school. They were fed with many obsolete write ups written by those who lived when life was easy and journey in one direction. Do you expect a person who has never used his or her to think and observe while in school to use his or her after school? No wonder those in the helm of power find it difficult to see vivid problems plaguing humanity.
Since communication is vital and makes one to be accepted in the wider world,why can't we use our early time to learn to write and read and use our God given observational skill to bake ourselves in the dynamics of life. Thanks
