Formal education. Overrated?
« on: October 31, 2018, 04:21:25 PM »
Nowadays, a lot of people no longer see the importance of attending or engaging in formal classroom education. Below are some of the reasons I've noticed or heard about
1. Most people feel formal education is no longer worth the time and stress as they more lucrative opportunities outside the four walls of the classroom.
2. Others believe that formal education don't teach one how to earn cool money, rather it teaches us to serve others.
3. Some see formal education as a waste of time that could be invested in things they term 'more important'
4. Recently, a lot of inspirational articles have openly discouraged formal education, thus influencing the mentality of many.
What's your opinion? Do you think the reasons for shunning formal education are valid? Or are they just lazy excuses to avoid stress?

It is not overrated. IT is always needed but from the right hands. Because wrong people can direct you to wrong way, even worse, you can believe that the wrong way is actually true.

Education is never overrated, but one needs to be careful what schools they pick and what topics they focus on.

Yes, I agree, Everything changed in years, but the method of education still the same, we need to change that, schools are creating people to be machines.

It depends on the country and it depends on the school, I think. But in general, I do agree that standartized test, for example, are not the best approach for all kids.

Just like the previous commentator said, it all depends on your country of residence .
Having said that, I think formal education is overrated in my country.
You will see a graduate after spending so many years in the university,still roaming the streets for lack of job .
Those doing menial jobs seems to be doing well more than those who spent years in the class rooms.

I think it also depends on your area of study in university. Some are more practical than others, it's important to pick something that you both enjoy and that has practical applications.

Formal Education is commonly viewed as overrated especially when you came from third-world countries, poor families, and rural areas.
Although there exists some communities with no "formal"  school to begin with (most tribal people really strive to cope with modern society and others are just wanna stay isolated.

Honestly, It depends on how one person views it.
Some would rather choose rather what they have considered more important than formal education.
Some may boast of it. and some views as some sort of privilege like nobility.

Welp, back on the Era of Knights, Bards, Hunters, Mages, Witches..
Education is also viewed this way. but on some sort of dilemma and unrefined

On the other hand sometimes it's exactly people in such poor communities that fight tooth and nail for their children to get formal higher education because they view it as a way to have a better life in the future. It really depends on the people.

No knowledge is a waste and as such we can never know it all, we all need knowledge about things we think we know and things we don't so as to build our self in a very unique way and manners.

There are many ways to acquire knowledge, formal education is an important way, but ultimately it's just one option.

Formal education serves well for one thing - your socialisation in early young life and maybe your lifetime friends or so. That's something you cannot get everywhere else really. It maybe not always will lead you to something that will require that skills, but I assume it's needed really. A must even;)

Depending on one's school and degree one can learn more than socialization. But even socialization alone is a pretty important step into adulthood.

I think the reasons are valid. It is true that formal education brings and teaches you nothing, we need to reform the educational system.
