Education and Youth

[Knight_mybb_import2516]

It saddens me to see the people in my country shun school so apathically when there are people in other countries who do not even get the chance to be educated. I am fortunate enough to live in the United States of America so a majority of education is free. Yet there are still people who just fool around in class and drop out for the stupidest reasons. What do you think about this issue?

They fool and and drop out, they don't do well in the future.

Some will, but it is safer to stay in school.

 

[Oui.]

This can be compared to food or water. While you waste food and water, throwing rests out keep in mind how others starve and would eat those rests. Or an even better example is freedom which other people don't have. Don't take your freedom for granted, but use it! Though I don't think as many are grateful for that as they are for the schools. I believe it is explained in the quote "The grass is always greener on the other side". Which goes to show that you will need to experience the absence of something in order to appreciate it. However as I've been to a European Union conference on school I have seen how much it is focused on career rather than education. It is based on what will be needed for the future though this cannot be predicted and changes radically with time. It is becoming nearly as easy to become successful in the aspects of wealth without an education as it is with. Since school is becoming more about career than it ever was I understand that people would chose other ways. If school was fully for career and not education I would myself take the other way.
