No one could be against to the importance of the education, but there comes more and more sounds of doubt towards the formal education! Many people believe that the purpose of education is to free one’s mind, to make one more creative. But others disagree , arguing that it is the formal education that limit our mind and become a blockage during our way to step forward. Ok, I have to say that both of the points are meaningful. However , as far as I am concerned, I would support the first opinion that education can surely fly our mind , helping us to be more creative and smart!
Firstly, please think carefully about what is the purpose of education? Try to think about a simple example, that if a man is always lack of correct guide during his life, what could happen on him? He may become a thief or, what is worse, a murderer , because no one has looked into his heart and made him known about what he is looking forward to and what is true or false .It is terrible, isn’t it? So easily we could see that education is just like a touch, lighting the darkness in your heart and free your mind, letting you realize about your hobbies and find the right way you want to choose.
But why are there so many people argue that it is the formal education that limit one’s mind and make him or her less creative? They hold the point that we will not have the confidence to suspect the former theories indicated by the famous professors, so never can we make progress. I have to say they are quite wrong! Do you remember the three famous educators, Socrates, his student Platon, and Platon’s student Aristotle? The formal education never narrowed Platon’s and Aristotle’s mind. And in the opposite, they use the knowledge learn from their teachers to integrate the former theories. We could draw a conclusion that the formal education can never narrow one’s mind , but gives people the tools to solve problems. Just as a famous saying, teachers take you to the class , while the further progress is just up to you!
However, there is one thing that we must pay much attention to. The formal education is a tool that help find the right way appropriated to you, but not a calculator helping your to find the final answer. Never rely too much on your teachers, or your abilities to solve problems will become worse! And surely it disobeys the original purpose of the formal education!
Maybe you will maintain your previous idea , but would you change your mind after reading my demonstration? And obviously I will hold my point forever, that it is the formal education that makes you more thoughtful , more skillful, and more creative!
