While I was in secondary school there were really difficult problems in mathematics that you really have to solve. While some tried to solve it, others do not bother. I was one of those who will do anything to please the teacher.
Have you ever wondered, how are those ridiculous mathematics applicable to my life? Ok, I’m still wondering myself.

“Go to school, get good grades and get a high paying job” is the song of every parent. It is a cultural norm everybody must follow, if not, you are probably termed ‘an illiterate’. I’m glad that most stakeholders, ministers and leaders in political officers are now seeing the need for young people to be entrepreneurial that they are now asking every young Nigerian to ‘do something with their hand’.

You’ll be amazed that most things you learnt in school are not directly practical on your day to day life. While going to school and getting good grades may fetch you a high paying job but know that this does not in any way guarantee success in life or business.

Every day, you hear those in the university complaining about the stress, hunger and the sleepless night they are exposed to in school. And you can’t help but ask, ‘what on earth are they learning they have to go through this for 4-5 years?

I guess the only answer to that question is this: they are systematically trained or perhaps brainwashed to be corporate slaves that work really hard for money! That’s the truth.

America’s public schools are increasingly frustrating parents and falling behind international standards. America spends more of its GDP on education than most countries, yet it gets mediocre results”

Now what does that tell you?
