There are different opinions about wheter true education is only gained at school. Some people say that shchool is the only place that students can get real education because school is officially aproved by goverments. However, i strongly belive that people learn precious things from outside school because knowledge gained from experience is more valueable than knowlege learn from book. In addition, education that students recieve is ultimately for entering University which is not a true education.
First, students learn many things not just in school but also from experience. People learn beneficial know-how from experiences and sometimes it can be more useful than learnings in school. Learning from experiencing allows studnets to have more specific and practical ideas of something. People never forget somethings that they have experienced . To be specific, I always wanted to improve my english skill so I put most of my effort in studying English at school. However, I learned that just studying hard what school taught me can not be ultimate solution, so I went to America about six month to develop my English abilitiy. It turns out to be great decision because my English has improved a lot since I could learn English by talking with natives.
Second, school's ultimate goal is help us enter a fine university. We tend to learn just because teacher taught us to memorize it. Therefoe those who learn from memrizing can not have deep understanding of something, they tend to have just superficial knowlege. To illustrate, one of my friend who was really good in academically in high school entered one of the finest universitiy in Korea. However, he often told me that what he had learned in high school was useless. He forgot almost everything from high school because what he did in the high school was just memorizing knowledge.
In conclusion, school is not the only place that can provide true education because learning from experience is more valuealbe and shool education's goal is just to help students enter into good university. |
