It is important to understand the true purpose of the whole world known as School. Keep scrolling for some of the intended educational lessons schools provide.
- The purpose of education is to open minds.
Being aware of your surroundings, learning about other people, and finding choices available in life are all important lessons. Keeping your mind open to new knowledge changes your whole future to one filled with valuable lessons and information.
- Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
We are supposed to learn something new each day. When we are young, we may learn twenty things in a single day. As we age, we do not learn at the same rate as in our youth. There are still new things to learn. Using our brain keeps us mentally and physically active and functioning.
- Education’s aim is knowledge of values, not facts.
Knowledge is power. Schools teach many types of knowledge. It is not necessary to remember every fact taught. The important lesson is the ability to think. The things learned and the methodologies used pave the way to learning values. Values gained aid in a successful future.
- Education cannot be taken away from you.
When knowledge and the ability to think are woven into your being, you cannot unlearn what you now know. It now becomes a tool for progress, survival, and action in the future.
- Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.
The confidence obtained as your school educates you, allows you to grow and flourish. This not only provides stepping-stones to progress, but it also allows the feeling of calm within you. This inner peace guides you down the path of accomplishment and fulfillment.
Please remember - your school is attempting to provide a good education. If you are teachable, no one can stop you.
