In light of the state of Nevada ranking in last place again, regarding education it makes you wonder if the traditional way of learning should be restructured?
Why is it important to continuously learn?
Why is it important to continuously learn?
Look at it this way, when you graduate elementary school do you not go to middle school? When you graduate middle school do you not go to high school? And when you graduate high school is college or trade school not to far off in thought? If after high school you decide to not continue higher education, do you just succumb to the complacency of your job? If you have a job you love and decide to settle in for the long haul, what else are you learning outside of your job?
My point?
When you stop learning you're left stagnant, at a stop sign, that doesn't permit you to go until you "learn" the next steps. If you drop out of elementary school your mind is at an elementary level, same for middle school and high school. Without knowledge it becomes difficult to navigate through the perils of life, you might as well be walking blind. Knowledge not only makes you aware it makes you valuable, in the sense that you may have something to offer the public that few can replicate so make sure to read books on how to make things, as America has lost its "made in America" status a long time ago.
Don't think that education only exists in schools and that you need a teacher to learn. Mentors are great if you can find one that genuinely has your best interests at heart, but self- teaching also goes a long way and allows you to discover things you might not have learned in the classroom. I'm a strong advocate for self-teaching and home schooling. Why hold yourself back if you don't have to?
