Education and motivation
people have made quantitative results to be the sole purpose of education. Parents and teachers encourage students to labor for a few more points, and many schools may list the students with the highest scores.
Although exams can be useful in many ways, scores and numbers can create a hallucinating effect on students. Scores can’t really reflect everything about a student and how hard they work, and obsessing with a point or two is not necessary. I believe time can be spent in much better ways. After all, in the future, I don’t think any of us will remember what grades we received.
. From this example we can see that it is often easy to forget why learning is important in the first place and focus on what we can only see.
Education and ways of learning has played a major role in human history. It sets the stage for future generations, so it can greatly influence how we will live tomorrow. For this reason it has become an important subject in many parts of the world. If we can make decisions concerning educational systems with learning’s original goal in mind, I believe the world would be better off relying on personal interest to spark exploration. Like Diogenes Laertius once said, “The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.”
