OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS OVER-RATED!
Did I get your attention? I guess I did otherwise you will not be reading this blog, at least you have gotten read this far.
Now that I’ve got your attention, let me explain. Education is important, that much is very clear! I went to school for a long time and I even got my Master’s Degree, but I still think it is overrated. It is our sub-conscience belief since we were little kids that we'll learn everything we need to know about life from school... and this is far from the truth and not even remotely close to the truth.
Most of us if not all are brought up to believe that going to school, getting good grades, working really hard and getting a good job are the steps we need to take to become successful. These qualifications are no longer a proven formula for wealth and success.
Life is not all about getting a job and I think we are doomed to enslavement by people who have bigger dreams than just getting a job.
Have you ever wondered what successful people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Dell, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, and Rachael Ray have in common? They all have not finished college or have not set foot in college. They all have big dreams, set their goals clearly and that is why they are successful.
In closing, hear me say that I don’t think education or school is not important but do hear me say that you will be greatly disappointed if you expect your child to gain everything they need from a school. Life experiences are the best teachers in the world.
Life is not all about academics (a stressed brain is not a learning brain). Let them experience social skills and emotional intelligence. Create an opportunities to experience life, encourage them to dream big and set their goals clearly. They absolutely need that because most young children nowadays don't even know what to do with their life.
