"Schools teach you what other people think you should know, what is important to them and their goals.
You do not find your true self in institutions, you lose your true self there."

Maybe High School can be like that. Mine was...hiring coaches instead of teachers so we could win football games.

But at the University level it's all about education. They may not nurture the soul like you want them to, but if you want to be an architect, botanist, economist, etc....you need a formal education. Think about it, you wouldn't even be able to respond to this post if you didn't have some level of education. You're not going to pick up Trig. or Calculus on the streets. Yeah, if you want to live 'hand to mouth' at just the survival level Life might teach you that. It will do it by trying to kill you off and seeing if you're strong and wise enough to survive. If you want a better life for yourself though, get your ass in school and get a real education.
