The the truth is that both school and skill is important but what we should concentrate our attention to is the fact that we should be more concerned about the kind of education that will should acquire because education is more of a theoretical
Do you think that every lesson in school is important? In our country it is obligatory school for 9 years, then a students can choose between vocational school ( get a profession) or 3 more years in school. Observing what children learn during first years, I have doubts that 12 years in school are really that necessary. When I was at school, in first grade we were learning letters, numbers and how to write - basics. Now, children that go to first grade must already know how to read, write, substract and add to 20. They end first grade knowing multiplication table. I think school is running forward with todays teaching. Add that not every lesson is so necessary. I totally dont use knowledge in music, drawing, chemistry I have learned. For example I have been learning chemistry for 6 years at school, but despite H20, NaCl, H2SO4 and CO2 dont remember anything, and I doubt that I would use anything that I could have learned.
