DirectionOfEducation.

What's the purpose of education? What's the goal that these people have when it comes to teaching us younger generation? Is it to expand our creativity, turn us into role-citizens or to make us turn into living zombies (or slaves)?

Why living zombies or slaves?
Think about all the exams that we have to cope nowdays, its all about getting an 'A'. That's it. If we dont get those grades- we wont get a good career, we couldn't get scholarships to a higher education platform...in other words, if we dont score- We'll die in society's eyes.

Isn't it true? Every single teacher and parents that came to me whenever im talking about 'education' says that there will be only one question from society; and that's-
"How many A's did u get for your exam?"

If the whole point of education is just to earn high grades, then what happens to the part of 'expanding young mind's creativity?' Are we just attending these institutions in order to get incredible grades? Or do we use the opportunity to get as much of knowledge to make our lives better in any possible way?

That's what i dont understand. Because i have a friend who had his exam earlier this month and before the exam- He was one of the brightest students, he was carrying a book everywhere and he was smart..very smart. But, after the exam he sorta became very slow and stupid in a way...as if the whole exam has drained him. And at the time that i was looking at him- he seemed to like a zombie (cuz he was so slow and kinda stupid compared to how he was before).

So, that made me think about our sense of education- Are the adults turning us into society's zombies and slaves? You people think about it.
