education pt2

It's interesting, actually, that my method of learning has not faltered from that which I learned in high school. Many classes require understanding of material through self-interpretation, or plainly by doing homework. As lame as it is, I think I understand what it's meant to do. Ideally, that is the only way in which you can learn because it forces the objective searching of connections. In my calculus class for example, the only way I understood the algebra of the Quotient theorem was by looking at problems and examples and comparing the two in their processes'.

My point is school is really just a tool for personal gain. It is not meant to make you smarter, more knowledgeable, or more versed. All formal education is designed to do is to provide the opportunity to become a great person. That said, how many people have you met that you've admired? Now did learning of that person's education give you pause? If you hear that someone has a GED and falter on their morals/discipline that probably has more to do with your self-standards. If you dismiss the person, then you're insecurities in high school are being reflected on that person. The possibility is that your hard work went under-achieved or you never achieved your desired goals so that now anything less than what you have is preposterous.

I always have a disturbance when education comes up. I was reading a reference book on private practice when they discussed ethics in a psychology practice. One principle they argued had double implications was the Western methodology of achievement, which is goal-oriented; the ends justify the means. This leaves the purpose of doing something as the something, leaving behind everything else. What this does is isolate a goal and make it irrelevant to other goals. What happens is that people do things without finding an understanding or common ground. If you can't find and duplicate relationships then you won't ever learn anything.
