Our education system is the basis to producing the future
workforce. It is fundamental in a country that has a great population to
educate a large mass with the most ease and lowest cost – thus was born the
public education system. Nationwide children are granted with never before seen
opportunities. Once in the system, children are taught to compete with one
another through obtaining good grades. Habits and thoughts are molded to
societal standards of what is important to focus on.
Furthermore are demands put on students to succeed with a
full course load while participating in a multitude of extracurricular
activities that solely enhance one’s potential for acceptance into higher
education. Compensation for this includes lack of sleep, socialization and
pursuit of personal interests, but the valuable skill of time management is
acquired.
Goal orientated students learn to dispense trivial
fascinations for the sake of success. Courses that focus on science,
literature, and mathematics are prioritized over arts and music. This way they don’t
waste time on classes that colleges do not care. After all, who needs passion
when you can mass produce a monotonous working population?
