An Education for a Better Future


              An education isn't just a system that is merely created for formality. An education is a progress, an early progress in our long quest to be someone who could accomplish something, someone who is known by a lot of people of our great doing. Education is a media, to learn about life, to gain knowledge, to build a character. A knowledge is a power, knowledge is basically like a gun, it is useful, but a character is its bullets. Therefore knowledge without a great character is useless, it's basically a gun without any bullets in it. But how do someone could achieve a great character? Knowledge is something that is very common. It is a thing in the air, knowledge is something that we gets everyday, but a character needs time to build. A lot of time. 

                If there is a biology teacher teaching about  human anatomy and stuffs, we could understand within a second and will remember in the later time, but if the biology teacher itself telling students not to cheat, we will just ignore it and forgets about it, it's like nothing important, it's like a bird's chirps. Why it is like that? Because like what i've said, gaining knowledge is by far easier than building a character. A student that had a bad habits (cheating etc) will never take off those habits easily, those habits were something planted in their veins, they could not take it off. Who planted them? It's everyone around them. By not preventing them to do bad habits, that means allowing them to plant those bad habits. But why are the students having their bad habits? Why are they cheating? It is because our education system. We tend to care more about grades then about what we learned. If someone got a bad grades, he/she will fail, why? Because our education system thinks that those who had a good grades had a good chance of success. Our education system makes us wanted to have good grades, hence the students that don't understand the lesson that is taught by the teacher will cheat, either the teacher is not good enough, or it's just the students that don't pay attention. Nonetheless, they still value grades the highest, that's why the bad habits is rooting in them. 

             So tell me, did those students who cheated got kicked off the school? No. Did they got a good grades? Yes! Why? They easily cheated out of it! So the key of our system is to cheat your way to get a good grades? Yes, it is more like it. But will these cheaters will have a good future? Mainly yes, but they won't be useful for someone, they will be more likely to have a great job, a great wife and a great wives. But they won't be someone successful for the sake of this nation! Why in the world would our country needs those guys, we need someone who could do something, who could change this cruel world into a beautiful place! How could someone without a good character do that? But is there ever someone who had a knowledge and a great character? Sadly, no. We wont have those people in this generation. We wont have them in this education system. Not yet, until they change it.
