Nothing much more to say here. Well, other than the fact that most of my learning actually comes from outside of the classroom.
Why is US higher education so expensive???

that easy class versus that good class
So, I am slowly beginning to get back into the mode of where I'd like to go back to school again. But this time it's a little different. Whereas before I was determined to get the best grades ever, I am now determined to do some actual learning. You see, there is a huge problem in our society that directly correlates numbers to success. This is very unfortunate indeed since a large population of those who actually contributed much to the world is deemed as "failures" in terms of academia. Well, I think I'm smarter than that.

did you know that its a myth that Einstein failed at school. He was actually a really good student. haha. just reminded me of that because usually he is the example people cite. But alot of successful people did drop out of college like Bill Gates, though he attended Harvard which meant he had to be a good student to get into the school first. Steve Jobs too.
ReplyDeleteBut I definitely agree with what you say. Good grades don't mean learning but learning does translate into good grades.
I definitely agree with you here. The most learning I accomplished last semester was in our history class and my logic class. In those classes, I received my two lowest grades; however, what I learned in those classes is invaluable.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, American higher education is too expensive to just take easy-A classes the whole way through. If one went to Emory and took only got easy-A's, then he has wasted an incredible amount of money.
