If anyone of you

Says that education is not important and test results are useles,

Think again, man.

How do you measure the worth of 2000 individuals without taking 2000 hours in your life? Even if given 1 hour for each student in a school, you cannot know a person's true worth by interviewing him for that period of time.

So they come up with standardized syllabus and skills for you to learn. And when the time comes, those syllabus and skills are tested on a piece of paper that are then marked according to what the syllabus has told.

Some of you are saying, "It's all memorization and not a single piece of critical thinking is needed!" Well, I say if you do say that, you have to accept that there IS a test out there that are all critical thinking and if you do not pass even that, you would say, "It's all critical thinking and not a single piece of WHAT I LEARNT IN SCHOOL IS NEEDED!"

Sorry to say to you guys, but schools are important. They keep us in line of what is needed for the foundation of the world, i.e. Knowledge.

Some of you would say you wouldn't use Pythagoras' theory ever in real life, but some of us build buildings that require that exact theory and we are the ones who make homes for you guys.

Next time, when you say what you learnt in school isn't real life, look to your smart phones, your homes, the plane that you're about to board, the inhaler that you use, the computer that you type on, the straw that you used to drink. These things are made by people who went to school and gotten the same knowledge that you are now learning or have learnt.

Respect knowledge.
