Have you ever thought to yourself what the point of school was or why we, as a society, are forced to attend it for at least 12 years of our lives? What does school teach you exactly that you cannot learn from just living and experiencing life? Yes, you learn to read, do some useless math and learn some boring science, but what about things such as relationships? School will never teach you how to have a healthy relationship, whether it be romantic or platonic. Isn't that a very important part of life? Why don't we learn that? I think that would be much more useful than solving for X.

We learn how to times 1234453 by 43543534, but don't learn how to save or manage our money. Wouldn't that be much more useful in our lives?

Yeah, I think going to school is important to a person's life, but thats not the only way we can learn. Experiences are equally important. Why just learn about life in Australia when you can see it first hand? Why not travel the world and learn about other cultures from people that are actually from that culture? Some things a textbook just doesn't tell you. I believe experiences and learning should go hand in hand. Don't just read about it. Experience it.

Just another day in Wonderland.
