THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

A few days ago, I saw a video by Prince Ea where he criticates the school system in general. Prince Ea is a famous youtuber known for his motivating videos about life, death and other topics. The following video gained me a lot, because, largely, I was agree with it.

In the video, Prince Ea explains the issues that the current school system has. On the hand, he starts to explain how the students feel useless sometimes because of the way they educate him. On the other hand, he illustrated how the working of a class has not change throughout history. He adds that this education system treats the students as equal when in real life, each student has his way to think. He also talks about the teachers' low wage and the schools system of other countries like Finland.

This is the Prince Ea's YouTube video:

Prince Ea talks mainly about the American school system but the thing is that here, in Spain, the working of the education is the same. Throughout history, a lot of things from different aspects has changed, the way to communicate with people, the vehicles,... basically everything except the school system. Why we still holding on it when everything has changed?

Albert Einstein said once: 'Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish for its ability to climb the tree, it will live its whole live believing it is stupid.' I agree with this idea. As for the students, they are just like a fish. If they do not understand a lesson or they are not good at it, they are treated like a useless person. The truth is that each one of us has their special ability.

From my point of view, we are educated like robots. We have to work, to study and get good marks so that we can enter to a university and get a degree to have a good work with a good wage. But the thing is that life is not a fairytale and nothing makes us sure of anything of that. The education that we are receiving teachs us to be competitive and selfih.

Don't you ever asked yourself how can be possible that Spain is popular for its number of dropouts when it is one of the countries where the students work more in school and at home. I think that we should focus on what Finland is doing right, on the condition that the government wants to change the education system. If their interest has to do with having a lot of dropouts, then, our country is doing it right.

When it becomes to the teacher's wage, I have to say that it doesn't respond to what they do for the society. They have the responsability to prepare the youth. The youth are always the future of everything. As Prince Ea says, we may be the 20% of the population but we are the 100% of the future.

As a conclusion, I think that it is very difficult to reform, correctly, the education system. We can not change the current school system for the Finland's one in a couple of years, for example.
