Valedictorian Speaks Out Against Schooling in Graduation Speech
Not sure if agree.
Now, maybe the quality of education varies by region (although in any case CA is one of the worst states), but I've been inclined to believe that schooling is good and that general education has inherent value.
Then again, I'm also one who doesn't buy into the system yet doesn't get trampled by it. I lost my straight A status in freshman year but I've kept it up ever since without special attentiveness, while others comparable to me or worse stress over every point they can get, not even stopping at 100%. I pursue what I love and what I'll need to love, not what looks good on my resume. But what about the rest?
The way some people go about their education is silly, to say the least, and worthy of the article's criticisms. But they're led into thinking that it's necessary. Is it really? Or are they just misguided?
Hmm.
