Why I Hate School But Love Education

Why I Hate School But Love Education. Well, it's true that at first sight it can sound a little bit contradictory, but actually it isn't at all. This is the name of the video wich Suli Breaks could get almost eight thousand views on YouTube in 2012. Suli Breaks is a world's leading spoken word artist who creates poetic presentations with the aim of telling powerful stories. With this one he wants to make us think about the educational system and he wants to make us ask ourselves some questions like why we are studying?

The fact is that most of us are living our last times at one stage and we are getting ready to change to another stage. Now we are finishing our high school chapter and in few moths, we'll start our first steps in the "adult" world. Also, we are in an age, which is said to be the best age of our lives, where we have the obligation of dream about our futures, think what we want to share with the world and don't take anything for granted. So with all this I want to say that it's a good time to ask ourselves the kind of questions that Suli Breakers make us. 

"If you don't build your dreams, someone else will hire you to help build theirs"

This quote is telling as something as simple as we have to chase our dreams. One of the thigs that characterise humans is the capacity of creating future prospectives. It means that each person can think in their future, know what he wants and act in the present in order to get it. The worst decision we can make is to choose not make what we think that can make us happy. And the point of the quote: if you don't work for yourself someone else will hire you to make their dreams come true. 

Actually, the video is a good critique of the educational system. Applying the meaning of the quote before to school system it's saying that schools are not making their true work. Schools should strengthen the love for knowledge and motivate people to broaden horizons. School should prepare students for what they really need that it's not only to be good at their job but finding what they really are and what they want. School should be places where one could create himself.

Nowadays "school" is not fully related to "education". There are a lot of ways of education and a lot o differents ways in which a person can be educated and currently school only focus in one of them: be beneficial for the society and not for the own interest. In this point, we should analyse other factors that make education not be the tool it could be like for example the interest that "leaders" have in the control of the society and keep their power.
