As I go about the same routine, same classes, and same everything, I wonder what school has taught me so far. I guess, I've learned a lot of advanced: math, english, and science, not to mention the most incredible concepts in my elective classes.
But one thing that school has helped me thoroughly develop is cynicism, cynicism for the current school system.
Sure, school exposes the young mind to (for the most part) our full potential - satisfying our curiosity and enriching our development. But how can we effectively learn with all the problems that school or maybe more specifically - school teachers make? These aren't the types of problems that you're suppose to solve in order to get a better understanding of real world problems. These are problems that we as students have little to no control over. These are the flaws that the school system has created that may not seem like a big deal, but nevertheless lead us to the question: are we actually learning?
