The importance of the Education for the growth of a nation

Is necessarily the "Education" for the growth of a nation?

People often claim that a degree is important to reinforce their capacities, knowledge and abilities. Well, it doesn’t. The education system has proven time and time again that school is nothing but an expensive daycare for kids and teenagers. The average student doesn’t learn or is interested in the subject matter. Tha is why the education system it just implanting an idea, repeat "correct" anwsers and that's it… It does sound like the military or the army for that matter. Students are conditioned to solve problems that they very well may not face in the real world, rather than apply the answer on a piece of paper to get a good grade. This system has failed and teachers and many people alike are not to blame but the government. The state doesn’t want people who question the establish order of things, if you do so, you will be called crazy, rebel, or ignorant. 

The importance of self-education and self-discovery is key to expand our thinking process. Not only will we question everything previously established by the school or university. It will push the student to seek further and reach for different outcomes, making him self-aware. In order to improve this idea, the student must be willing to discover, explore, ask and most important, face different points of view on different subjects. 

90% of student graduates have an immense college debt, not only in America but in Chile as well. This is because at the end of the journey (College) you must face the real world. Why? "they need at least 5 years of  experience in the area", "someone could do it for less", etc. And all the student’s effort (School, college) are reduce sometimes to work in another job.

In conclusion, the standard way of learning has proven that kids won’t learn if you force them. If they show real interest on a subject in particular, this will grow and transcend to a whole new level of collective learning. Without filters, without grades, without good or bad.

POST 4: MY FUTURE JOB

Image
Hello everybody, welcome back to my blog, today I’m going to write about something that scares me a lot, and that it is, the FUTURE… more exactly, my future job.  When I was a little girl I never thought that I would be here, but here I’m, studying nursery education at the University, I still like what I’m studying now but sometimes I ask myself if I’ll be good at my work. I like kids but sometimes the way that other educators works its makes me get disappoint about the career. I would like to work with kids and their families in different places, outdoors like in a park and do a picnic, seeding in the garden or looking for insects… I don’t know, I have lot of ideas I would like to come true and I think it could work. I really want to travel someday and meet new places (well, I need to save money first) but not for working. I still remember when my dad had to travel for work (Argentina, Brazil, etc.) and he couldn’t go outside to meet new places because he should stay at

POST 10: ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hello, everybody, welcome back to my blog, this will be the last post of this semester, so today I’m going to write about all my experience writing blogs. I usually write random things that I’m thinking in English, or I listening to music in English, I watch videos in YouTube just in English and I have some foreign friends and sometimes I talk with them to video call or just we text each other, and that’s how I try to improve my written English skills, because I love languages, and then I want to learn Korean language. People say that is a little bit difficult but is a challenge for me, and I like challenges. So that’s why is not a problem for me to write blogs in English, actually I like it, even if I know that my English is not the best. Is important for me to read comments of my posts, so I read all your comments you left because I can know that my English is not bad at all and you can understand what I want to say. I think my writing now is better, I hope so, because I

POST 3: MY PETS

Image
Hi everyone! How are you? Today I’m going to write about my pets. I have two dogs, Cony and Bony, they are so different, and they hates each other… why? Well, different ages, maybe. Cony is 12 years old and Bony is two years old. Cony is a small white poodle; she is not nice with everyone because she just loves my mother and father, and me… just sometimes. She eats weird things like Chantilly cream mix with dog food, I know is really irresponsible, but the veterinarian knows about Cony’s diet, and she said we can’t change her diet now because she is old, so Cony has to enjoy life sleeping and eating. And now, I’m going to talk about Bony. Everyone loves Bony because he is different; he is a playful big black dog, who is nice with every person near at him. He usually eats a lot dog food (not Chantilly cream) and has a lot of energy all day, so at night when I want to go to sleep he starts to bark, and he stops to bark when I’m there playing with him. So that’s at all a
