What I Wish I Was Taught in School vs. What I Learned
Most people will agree that an education is extremely important. It helps you gain knowledge that will be useful for the rest of your life while at the same time open new doors for you to one day become independent and have a reputable standing in society. That is why school has been a fundamental element of people’s lives in developed countries, and it’s there that kids learn from a very young age to socialize, work in groups, be disciplined, and respect others. Going to school helps you learn necessary skills and develop talents through exposure to different fields of study; from literature to science, art to sports, foreign languages to history, in a healthy environment where you learn (or should learn anyway) how to compete in a fair and cooperative manner. These are all good things we learn at school.
Of course, some might claim that an education is not the key to happiness and they are probably right, but it definitely is the key to a lot of other things that will help you to be happy. However, we must admit that we learned a lot of useless things at school as well.
Although, there are useless things that we were put through.
