The Principle

The educational system works in a very peculiar way, it seeks in principle that children, adolescents and young university students acquire the necessary tools, orientations and directions to acquire knowledge that will be useful to them in the future. Primary and secondary school can be understood simply as a training or preparation for life in general as well as for university studies.

In the university we can observe that the way of teaching the subjects is not the same, since there the teachers are only in charge of guiding or pointing out the path to follow and the student himself must forge his own path. The problem comes when, on many occasions, the student in question comes with a chip in his head that studies are the only way to succeed in life.

With your studies you will solve your life and you will be able to support your family or the family you decide to form in the near future. However, later on, it is possible to see that this is not always the case. There are many young people who do not find a job when they leave university.

Some then question whether most of what they learned is really useful for both life and their future work. Others, resign themselves and get a job in a completely different area because it pays better. Some even build a company from scratch or some kind of business and make more money than those with the same college degree. And how can we forget the young people who can't afford college and leave with a degree in their hands and debt on their shoulders.

Why is that?

Before I continue, I have to say that education is useful, it expands your horizon and may allow you to think more clearly. The more knowledge, the more understanding a person should have, although this is not an absolute rule and of course, it depends on the type of knowledge.

Now, the educational system looks for the most efficient way to prepare young people, although this does not always turn out to be the case and there may be several reasons:

• First, the educational system is imperfect, because it is designed to work in general terms. This means that performance standards are set that children should meet and subjects, teaching and learning are delivered that everyone should be able to follow in exactly the same way.

The problem with this is that children are not the same, they are all different and have different aptitudes and behaviors. You cannot expect the same results from one child as from another. Although there may be an average percentage that meets the established parameters, it does not work absolutely.

This not only refers to the aptitude part, but minds are different, beyond being containers to be filled with knowledge, they are people. Precisely, this part is complicated and is almost impossible to perfect.

• Secondly, the mental part of children is built in a particular way, if we could read their minds or their hearts, we would see that they are all different. They carry with them some weight, trauma, worry, important dreams and aspirations. Many educators simply "stuff" them with knowledge and believe that their job is done.

A doctor can stitch up a wound and that wound will usually heal, but a child's traumas, those stay there until someone decides to dig them up, who knows when that will be and if anyone will really notice.

• Thirdly, there must be a consistency in learning, a way to verify that you are really learning something, the problem is that this is difficult. Memorizing is not learning and the acquisition of knowledge can be influenced by multiple factors such as the educator's ability, the student's effort, the teaching method, the environment, emotional state, and so on.

• Fourth, if the knowledge seems useful, this sounds like nonsense, but it is not, my friends. If the student does not understand or does not perceive that a knowledge may be relevant in some sense, he will probably forget it very quickly.

Conclusion

The education system is an important part of life, through it is decided the future of many young people who then become pillars of the society in which they live and although sometimes it is not effective, it is still important. Studying gives us the opportunity to develop ourselves in a way that only we can direct.

If we want to walk a path, it will almost certainly be necessary to study and learn. The complexities of the education system, teaching and learning are more convoluted than they appear at first glance and are something that only a few educators fully understand. Especially those who know how to read the heart and nurture the soul.
