School is probably the most important place of our childhood, but unfortunately it has
been the worst experience of my childhood, I literally hated school back then I was going
to school and I still hate it until day although that it has been pretty long time since my
graduation and I am certain that most of you hate it as well.
And if time travel would be real, I would go back in time and stop myself from going
to school.
Its not because my school was bad, I studied in 3 different private schools and I hated
them all for the same reasons.
Most of the schools today are useless institutions where we waste our childhood and here is why!
Grades are what made me hate school in the first place, every single day I was worried
to get a bad grade, you have no idea what does it means to get a bad grade when your
parents are obsessed with grades.
1 bad grade literally means that bad news are waiting for you at home.
Do you really think any kid would be motivated to go to school when he consistently has to
worry about grades.
As a kid I never viewed school as a place that would make me a better and smarter person
but rather the place where I had to constantly find ways to cheat so that my teachers and
parents would be satisfied with my grades and I would not be expelled from my school.
The school system doesn’t recognises that kids are different and everyone’s worth
is measured by these grades, especially in math and science.
What if someone is simply good at acting, yes he might not be good at solving algorithms,
but he can become a successful actor.
What if you are good at playing soccer, yes you might not be able solve complex math problems,
but you can become a successful soccer player.
But schools do not even recognise these talents as real life talents that can be useful in
life.
All what matters are math and science.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that math isn’t important, but not everyone is good
at that, exactly like not everyone is good singing.
Why not completely get rid of grades and make school the place where kids come and learn
new things everyday, they would not have to constantly worry and memorise some useless
facts only to pass that test, so that they can finally have the time to learn what will
really help them in life!
I think most teachers don't really understand their job in school, they view themselves
as the person who delivers information to kids, which doesn’t really make sense, because
whatever information you can think about is out there on the internet.
I am not saying that teachers are useless, but I think they have to serve a different
mission.
Their job is to inspire kids about what they are teaching, they have to constantly find
more interesting ways to make the class more attractive to kids.
Standing up there and simply repeating the same thing over and over doesn’t make any
sense.
In fact, thats boring, that even pushes kids away from school and makes school seem as
the most boring place in the world.
I hated many of my teachers back then in school for one simple reason!
They hated me first because I wasn’t getting good grades like other kids and wasn’t always
doing my homework because I had different interests that were not valued in school.
Of course that increased my hatred to school and education in general and I am sure that
a lot of kids are running through the same thing.
Definitely not all teachers are like that and there are many great teachers as well,
but I think the role of teachers should be completely reshaped!
The entire school system is absolutely worthless.
Schools are trying to teach you as much information as possible.
and What I hated even more is that, we had to learn again the same information that we
have learnt last year because we certainly forgot everything already.
And guess what will happen next year, we will forget everything again and we will have to
learn the same things again!
why waste our entire childhood constantly memorising a bunch of useless facts over and
over that we will forget anyways!
The primary goal of schools should to help kids to develop skills that will help them
for the rest of their life.
Imagine if school helped you to discover your strength and weaknesses, Imagine if school
helped to figure out what you are passionate about, you would not waste the next 5 years
of your life trying to become a doctor and then finding out that this is not what you
want to do for the rest your life.
Imagine how different your life would be if you would came out of school, and you knew
exactly what you are good at, you knew exactly what you are passionate about.
Thats exactly what I am talking about.
And thats how schools should be in the 21st century!
I am sorry that this video was entirely negative.
I am sure that there are many positive things can be said about schools, but in all honesty,
the modern school system is completely outdated and doesn’t prepare kids for the 21st century
and it should be completely reshaped!
One more disclaimer: the point of this video is not to convince you to drop out of school,
but rather to make you understand you don't have to bother much about it, if you aren’t
getting good grades, don't underestimate yourself, never think that your worth is measured by
these useless grades.
Discover your strengths and passions and entirely focus on them, because thats what will make
you successful in life.
and now its your turn, How was your experience in school?
