Here’s one view of mine:
Some kids just don’t take initiative. The school is supposed to teach, but at some point the student has to start working towards their own future. They should be going to the library more often, using the books and resources there, or going to various other libraries and doing research. You can’t just sit around and let the teachers decide what information you’re going to be getting out of life.
Some students do well in high school, but fail later because out of all they learned from the teachers, they failed to learn initiative and failed to expand their horizons intellectually in regards to teaching themselves. Taking initiative is what will determine success in any way that anyone can define it. Students who were stars in school mess up in real life because real life isn’t about sitting back and having people give the information to you.
Resourcefulness is another issue; if you don’t learn to make do and use what you have, you’ll never go anywhere. A lot of people oddly think that you shouldn’t try to run a business or do something practical if you don’t’ ave a degree.
As long as there is ambition inequality, there will be income inequality.
” A lot of people oddly think that you shouldn’t try to run a business or do something practical if you don’t’ ave a degree.”
I don’t think I know anyone who thinks that....
