Coming from India, i can with no doubt say that school is a WAR ZONE, people just to get better at something than someone and by now you already might be thinking that im saying this because i dont do well in school but the fact im pretty average at it. This is what school does to you, it is the ultimate arena of COMPARISON. Slaves in shackles blindly agreeing to their masters. I would define school as country ruled by the method government which we all know as dictatorship. The only thing school teaches you is to BE LIKE EVERY OTHER PERSON which i personally believe to be the exact opposite of what should be taught which is to be unique in you own way. If you dont go to school people wrongly accuse you of being illiterate but as Sir Ken Robinson rightly said Creativity=Literacy. Intelligence has been misconstrued as Bookish Knowledge, it is rather a quality that is present in all of us since birth but just havent ACCESSED it due to the limitations of school. I am currently 15 and I already have to stay up till 4 in order to go to war the next day. Is this the future we want for the next generation?
