"The point of school and college is to teach students how to think. The knowledge itself is arguably less than half the value of school".
I have never heard this put so clearly.
Somewhere around 3rd grade I did not want to go to school anymore as it was so boring. I was told I had to go. When I asked why I had to go the answer was "because". That did not work for me. I rebelled and had problems my entire time in the education system. If someone had just given me the answer above it would have helped tremendously.
