Education has played a major role in the modern life to all individuals in the society. It has enabled societies to prosper both socially and economically by enabling them to develop common culture and values. Education nowadays is very promising for future generations. Schools and colleges’ quality are growing simultaneously along with the development of facilities and standards, additional courses seems guaranting to complete the triumph of future’s success, and technologies such as full-length online classes and prosthetic devices also take a huge part in order to equalize the education needs.

But does it feel like what it sounds like?

In reality, students tend to feel more and more stressed as they go into higher degree; despite the fact that their choices of facility to support studying activities gets more and more diverse. With such an excellent picture of education above, what could have possibly gone wrong?

In my point of view, as a student, I have to agree that government had make it easier for us to explore a larger path of knowledge from around the world with their syllabuses and system. But they doesn’t make them easier to accept. Todays system is, I think, built to prescribe students than to assure their future. School forces us to learn more than 7 hours a day. But that isn’t what I concerned at. It forces us to learn things, a lot more than what we keen of. What is the purpose to keep millions of ‘unused’ knowledge if we’re going to push them aside later when we finally find a field that we actually put our hearts in? Yes, it is true that experts said learning is not useless and waste of time, but let’s just tear up the reality. Why would they work on how much an atom weigh when they wanted to be an artist? I think it is wiser to let students choose their field from the very beginning than to force them to literally suck the whole system up. 

And instead, give them more useful knowledge such as how to socialize with people, how to earn the leadership skill, and so on.
