Education Versus Schooling: The limitations of institutional ideologies.

It's such a society today where we have it pounded into our heads continuously. Time after time, multiple people, multiple occasions, multiple ways. But all telling us the same thing "Education is the key."

They say Education is the key, and I agree. But how is Education the key?

Look at this:
People like Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobbs, Richard Branson, Henry Ford, Steven Spielberg. Looking at all of these people, what's your conclusion?

Let me tell you mine: Neither of them graduated from a higher education institution.

Some people say that money is only the medium by which you measure success, and some of you have the nerve to say "I don't do it for the money?"

So what do you study for? To work for a charity?

So if Education is the key, I'm telling you that school is the lock. Because it rarely ever develops your mind to the point where it can see when it's green, and it can go, even when someone else says "stop."

So in school, as long as you follow the rules and pass the exams, you're good. But the sad part is that examiner's have a checklist, and if you answer something outside the box, it automatically dictates a cross. And so they say school expands your visions and your horizons, but isn't that just so closed off.

Expand your mind? more like keep it confined.

So I'm telling you, if success was a family tree:
Education and hard work would be directly related, where as school would be just a distant cousin.

I'll leave you with this proverb:
"It does a fool no good to spend money on an education, because he has no common sense."
