Is education overrated?

I know what I know. "But you are Asian!" "What's wrong?" "Do not you think that people should be good at mathematics?"

Okay, I do not think so. Do you know my specialty? I write tennis, write and talk. Do not get me wrong, I am very technically savvy. In fact, skilled, I am writing a jailbreak for the 13-year-old iPhone and may attack the school to change people's performance "in theory" in exchange for money.

But I threw the original calculus book and I ended. I tried three times to pass the triangulation and three more times to pass the statistics. I do not understand how it works. I can only deal with answers, not places where I can find answers.

Nevertheless, I was excluded because the educational system was limited to students with "specific skills". Our educational system promotes 'comprehensiveness'. And it is as useful as a pen without ink.

Specialization will only take place during the last two years of the university and low performance of all unrelated noise will not be accepted at all in most school systems.

Education is not the sum of degrees and university courses. Whether through your own effort or through school, education is important to your success / failure. Do you know why it will happen? I am driving. Motivation. It is flexible. Do not you like to go to school? Please go and learn! Live in the era of information technology

You can succeed without formal education. It is irrelevant to your past mistakes, mistakes of others, ideal self-study and research, what you want to learn.

The school system is not for everyone. I have a high school diploma and an attitude of "Gibhem Hell", I came up with it.

But I think Sean Kernan is right about one thing. You are not Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison. Do you know how successful they are? These people eroded their fingers along the way to bloody, broken stumps and grabbed their way over them. Coupled with some degree of fortune, their persistence and ambition led them to the forefront of their respective fields. Expectations for your future will be realistic enough to notice as soon as these people are three-seven-thirds of a billion. I did not tell you not to dream big, but I need to shorten my goal.

I am not Steve Jobs, but I do not have a degree, so I am doing very well. Can you do it? Is possible. However, please do not confuse formal education and education. Learning is the only way you can improve and succeed. If you are not planning, it is going to fail

You say it's easy. Dr. Princeton University and the University of California Berkeley suddenly think that education is overrated? It is not overestimated to you, so why should it be for other people, including low-income households? Are you going to tell your child not to go to a four - year college? I'm afraid not. Furthermore, even though Kaplan is opposed to this inefficiency, the fact that there are no other options remains unchanged. Economically, it is called arbitrage transaction - an alternative means of problem solving. There is no employer who provides education / training to replace the higher education degree, except for embarrassing occupational work for them. Detailed information on career adoption

Until a while ago, I published an article written by cognitive scientist Roger C. Schank. In this follow-up article, Schank's theme explains why he thinks he is useless, and why many children dislike learning them. Schank taught at Stanford University and Yale University and is an emeritus professor of psychology and education at Northwestern University John Evans. Schak, former head of the Learning Science Institute, is a version of "Educational Thinking: How Cognitive Science Saves Our Schools". A version was posted on his Education Furious blog.
