I had ADD and hardly remembered anything from school. I rarely heard what the teacher was saying and rarely knew what was going on the with the assignments. Then, I got interested in theology.

Yes, I agree so much with your last point, I've always said to myself, one of the biggest things I learned in college is how to push myself to solve problems myself.

Well if you check out the carrer page of tesla they actually require degree or equal amount of experience and proof of your abilities for most of the jobs
Hmm as someone who dropped out of education for a while, I'd highly suggest going to university and getting a couple of degrees. You should self-study around it as well, whether for certifications or personal projects, or to enhance your knowledge on what you are being taught in your course. You will do a lot better long-term if you double down on studying.
You would think by now with all the successful people that have dropped out of school , the school system would change its approach and its all falling on deaf ears
The 2nd one summed it up better. College shows you can do a long project. But if you are going to start your own business and you have a good idea and the means to get it out there then it is better to drop out because you might not have 2-4 years to wait to put everything into your idea, might be too late and someone else gets funded during a booming business cycle instead of you.
I love the idea of parents taking charge of their kids education when it means they are taking charge to help students get the best, to get what kids need. But i hate this taking charge when they’re ignoring some of the intangibles that school brings which fall into blind spots of parents. I’m all for more STEM focus given the world we now live in & what the future looks like from our vantage point today. While i haven’t seen the whole curriculum, STEM is not everything. Critical thinking skills are a #1 skill students snd adults MUST have going forward. But along with critical thinking skills, people MUST have some knowledge of things like how governments work according to organization, mission or constitution or charter etc, rights, monarchy vs democracy vs regimes or any permutations possible, laws, rules, enforcements, need for standing armies …. You get the point. I think its critical that knowledge of all sorts is absolutely necessary part of applying critical thinking but along with knowkedge there exists the issue of debate: the pro & con look at anything & everything to decide your right thing to do. Oh and the open discussions of intangibles like right vs might, fairness, justice, humane vs animalistic, beliefs vs facts vs gossip vs etc and kids should get to discuss love, like, hate, compassion, etc. church attendance being low & lower all the time plus too busy parents so where do kids today learn about morality issues? Such discussions need not be about religious affiliation but about the ideas embodied because everyone is free to chose for themselves but kids need introductions to what’s possible in this big world. Kids will be kids and will make many many choices as they grow up but it’s up to the adults to prepare kids to become the best people they can be! Too many kids today have not had the advantages ive had in my loving family with parents who believed success is linked to not only education but also to your character. I love your school (ive been in education in one way or another my whole life) but i also know that the character of every significant person in a persons life plays a part in development. The larger community cannot always stop bad actors but lets prepare kids to better handle everything life throws at them and also prepare them for their life-long further study, their numerous & various relationships and the joy of occupations that challenge. We must have schools that are allowed to teach the amazing variety in lives today but not to push anything other than critical thinking, learn everything you can/need to make decisions, and try to be better than the day before. But if you don’t succeed, apologize where you must and carry on in lovingkindness.
Allow them to progress at fastest pace they can per subject no grades is Montessori in some way they allow them to do one area as much as they want and go up as fast as they want we need this more
Entrepenures should be learning manage people rather than looking for degree . Education is important but formal eduction course is not yet update as per industry demand. However Entrepenures should learn management, selling, persuade & negoitation while rest should more focus on formal education
Silence with the universal sound can hear within ourselves brother musk. Silence is the GOD, but human's can't silent 😂😂😂. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations I am now going to do agree/agriculture jobs
Rain on the roof wind on the gate and I'm here in this solitude wind on the window our room is cold and I'm here without your hug, crazy to smell you...........
The city lights are on, brightening your photo on the table, flying at the speed of my thoughts and I go looking for you on the corners and anywhere and sometimes I even find you in a.......
I was once but than it came twice. What do we know about dogs that love the owner? But than we should thank for the love existing. I believe it's the good drive.
The problem in schools and universities is that teachers there do not explain why you are learning what they are teaching you. Students don't know the purpose of it. What is the goal? What will it give? How can it help in their lives? Who can they become? Where is the inspiration? That is why I didn't even go to college. I have never seen purposeful lessons in the schools I attended (I went to 4 different schools, though one was better than the rest, but it quickly became worse, so I changed). In my opinion, the smarter people are, the more they are responsible for this world. So, schools don’t need to make armies of stupid dummies. Instead, they could make people knowledgeable - people interests on social media would change from shit to something really good(so and content - creators are just giving what people want). Yes, there certainly will be difficulties, but don’t we have them now? Maybe finally the time has come to really make people smart? Make them independent and goal-oriented? The history shows that the world is young. People make enormous mistakes, even those in charge, until someday, somebody changes that for new and better.
Okay well if you cant google why you are learning what you are learning in school then how would you ever figure out how to teach yourself anything? College is expensive but unless somebody is going to teach you it is definitely the fastest way to learn. The problem with self teaching is that you have no idea what the prerequisites to certain things are. You end up learning random things without a solid base and you will not be as well rounded. You also don't even know what you should learn and even if you do most people require a degree to get jobs and promotions. Some people are capable of self teaching and being super successful but at the same time that is not very common. If you don't find the value in school that's your own problem because you weren't trying. When you go to college you can either try to make the most of it or you can tell yourself its a waste of time. At the end of the day your mindset is what really limits you.
@@Brad-qw1te It really depends on your life goals. I guess my goals are too big for college or university. I plan to go to college though - not because I need it to get a job and work like a slave 9-5 for the end of my life, but just because I truly want and I’m interested in that. But it’s not what I meant. I was speaking more about schools where the system teaches you some stuff like Mendeleev's table, I don't know, some physical formulas etc. Advanced math. Where would I need that in life if I, for example, want to become somebody else in a career? Could you explain that to me, please? Why schools don’t give actually valuable things like for example proper nutrition - food people should eat and shouldn’t to have a good health. Why nobody gives you any ability to choose your own path from the young age and you can do that only when you decide which university to go? Why schools don’t teach you how to count your finances and pay taxes. Why schools don’t teach you how to talk with people properly(some of the kids have this skill from their parents for sure, but not everybody for certain). Why schools don’t teach how to..well, make money, man?

Thats because the degrees they require are specialist skills. It’s knowledge that someone obv wanted to learn and needed to know fully. Naturally, Musk would want someone who is very familiar with the skill required for the job. The degree is just stating they know it
Its just wrong what you said that college is not for learning and you should drop. Shannon, einstein, bohr, feynman even Tesla that your company is named after, which was brilliant -> all the realy great minds, did go to college and some got phd, and no friend, jobs wasnt a great scientist, neither the other you mentioned.
I got banned to drop, or I will be pushed to the street (and even one time I invested in stocks and I had 75% profit in 2 weeks, and my father "blocked" the account (then I learn that "my account" was controlled by him),... yes, life is so...
