One of the most common trends now, especially in my country, is; Education is a Scam? and this has brought me deep thinking; Is Education a Scam?

Before coming to a conclusion, we need to ask ourselves, What is Education?

From my Understanding, Education means receiving structured learning patterns most especially from a School or Institution. We can then use this term to define an Educated person as someone who is learned or passed through an institution.

Now, this is where the question arises, How is being Learned Scam?

In a way, I can relate to the fact that saying Education is a Scam means saying Learning is a scam because what these Institutions provide is to bring in tools that would make learning easier. And what are these tools in question asides from the material things like a 4 wall classroom, tables, and chairs are:

1. The Opportunity of Having an Instructor: We all know that everyone needs a particular person that would impact something in our lives, that would give us a form of direction. This instructor serves as that person who would impact knowledge and necessary skill toward what our goals are.

2. A means of Having accountability partners: I bet, if you try learning something yourself without having an instructor and an accountability partner, learning would be so difficult and frustrating. But, in an Institution, you have an instructor and fellow mates who share the same goals as you.

From there, you can select an accountability partner who would be there when you need someone close to share your challenges with, especially when you don't seem to have good communication with your instructor. Not everyone likes their instructor you know.

3. Form a Circle of Friends: One of the reasons why I am encouraged to go to school every day is because I get to meet my friends. Not necessary because of learning but the motivation I draw being with like minds. There is this feeling and energy when you feel among people alike; that feeling of being with a family. This is the opportunity a School Provide.

There are more to list out but I would stop here and leave the rest for you to answer. Now tell me what other tools does this institution provide to make learning easier? I would show my appreciation by curating your comments.

PS: If you are seeing this, just want you to know my reply to your comments may come late because I have been pretty occupied with things in real life. But surely, I would reply to all comments

Good points and well said, how then can we say learning is a scam. Never... Learning would not only make you know a thing but also gives you ideas about improving and updating that thing you've learned.

Thanks for sharing with us boss.

Omo the aspect of instructor is true o. Not having someone to instruct you will make you feel as if you don't even know how to do something and the funniest part is that one will quickly give up on learning that thing.
Circle of friends, been around people with positive will surely trigger something big in you. Great post from you boss

1)Its bridges the gap between social and economic class.

In my country for instance, the gap between the elite and the less privileged is wide, this can be explained in two ways:

Institutionally/school
When you attend an institution you will meet varieties of people from different levels of our society regardless of your social or economic class. This gives the opportunity for average citizens to mingle with pupils from wealthy homes. Socialisation is one of the primary component that drives a society, through the aid of institutions a communication channel is formed between classes of the society, creating a mutual ground of discuss that diminishes the stereotyped psychological mentality enforced on some individuals that has influenced their mentality and perspective of a nation. In "rich dad poor dad"by brain Tracy, he stated that, the rich do not understand how the poor thinks and the poor do not understand how the rich thinks which has created a social apathy between both classes.

Academically

One of the theory of media called "spiral of silence" the argument in this theory is that, the major reason why some members of the society have chosen to be silent about some events in their environments is because they lack the knowledge to understand the phenomenalistic nature of the world and the inability to express themselves. The major form of communication is through language, as of now the official language is English which is taught in institutions, without an institution that teaches this language, how can people from ethnicity and tribes communicate with each other?
Academically, due to the knowledge acquired through institution it gives a human the privilege to speak among kings as a knowledgeable person.

2)It creates a means of building networking connections

This is an abstract of the above illustrated point. Institution is a very large place depending on the structure and type. The fact that we are able to mingle with varieties of people provides us with the opportunity to build relationship and connection with people. I will be using this individuals as examples @starstrings01 and @k_banti to my knowledge, they both met each other in an institution called gateway Polytechnic. As a result of this, @starstrings01 was introduced to hive. This won't have been possible if such medium was not in place, same goes for me also. I was introduced to hive by @starstrings01 who I met through the same institution.

3)It creates a medium for pupils to express their potentials

We all go to school to acquire skills that will be of importance in our career path. Institution gives us the opportunity to put this skills in practice before being in contact with the outside world. As broadcast student for example, we spend a lot of quality time in the studio in order for us to acquire broadcast related techniques and procedures and also to know which area of studio performance and activities each individual are good at.

And also,career path are formulated by two opinionated elements such as parents and school. Through the aid of schools most individuals are opportuned to discover themselves in a safe learning environment through the help expert in the field of academics.

This is a nice topic and topical issue you have chosen to write on.

Nice write up bro.

Man, I thought I had replied to your comment. Damn it, looks like the comment did not send after all. result of bad service.

Omoh, that networking is a big truth oh. it is a hard hitting point I mean. With school you get to learn more that what you went there to. if I decided to learn from home, I would have never known about Hive one bit.

Also, both parents and school really do play a big role in our individual career path.
