A true education is when you develop your inborn talents and
abilities through learning, experimenting, and practicing. Whether it is
medicine or fashion, people who learn and become experts in their field of
interest have acquired a true education. I believe schools in the United States do not
follow this model of education and learning. In the United States, educational
institutions are geared towards a narrow range of popular, financially rewarding
professions. However, not everyone can become a doctor, a lawyer, or an
engineer. Educational systems are not only
emphasizing sciences and math but also placing a great significance on
test taking skills. This does not mean that if someone does poorly on a
particular test, then they do not know anything about that subject. On the contrary, tests do not determine how
much a person truly knows. Schools serve the narrow few left-brained,
scientifically inclined individuals .The great majority are destined to go
through life with a mediocre education, having just a job to support their
livelihoods. Education should be served in a more diverse manner and should
cater to a wide variety of interests and skills. Schools are offering education
however it is their brand of education, which is not necessarily what most kids
want to learn.
