Going to school doesn't determine one's success in life. Going to school as for me is by the way. How can you have students in a school and they are all being taught the same the thing all over and over again... Every child has a choice to learn what he/she knows how to do best. Horace Mann did a very good job by inventing education but nowadays, we are the using it in the wrong direction. 75% of great men didn't go school before they became rich. The sentiment in our today's world is that "My child must go to school" Nooooo...... Being learned doesn't really mean one must go to school. My uncle woke up one morning and told me that "None of his kids would waste their time going to school". Not surprised by his statement. A lot of great and rich billionaires dropped out or never went to school. What do you the reason for their drop Out might be? I know many of you reading this will doubt me. It'sallowed.
I so much hate education because you brain is being programmed to learn what you need to know and and not what each child is expected to know due to each and everyone's different talents. I asked a child what he feels about going to school and he told me "It's boring". What a child!! Who knows what kind of talents is embedded in such a child. I believe going to school is addition to improving your success in life not making you rich as most people think. Every student is suppose to socialize with what he/she knows best and to what we all know as "hobby'.
