Very few things in life are as the seem to be. There are no straight lines, every line has a bend. Nothing is all black and nothing is all white. Love is not blind and hate is not absolute. Contradictory is Β not a fable; doubt is not a fact. Some things can be controlled, and some cannot.
It maters not how much you teach a turtle; he will never be able to fly. If you want to teach flight I would suggest you start with a pigeon. Chances are better the turtle is happy being a turtle and the pigeon finds comfort with its wings. How well the pigeon flies, how high he can go, or how much he enjoys it, he cannot teach the turtle to fly.
Both are content setting on an egg; donβt expect the pig to do it and be happy. Because you see something that is so simple, and easy, does not mean it is so for me. You love it, and you understand it, which backs up your believe that you can teach me. I do not doubt your ability to teach I question my desire to learn what you teach.
Education is a wonderful thing but a paper on the wall does not give one the ability to do what is says. Several things are missing here. Did you earn that degree or did they give it to you to get rid of you and show academic achievement records. From the beginning I have stated that things in life are not always the things they seem to be.
School receive income for the amount of students they graduate not on their achievements of scholastic abilities. Example; they hand the student financial aid, but they do not explain the liability of that loan. When one buys a car they warn of the possibly things that can go wrong and need repair they warn of the necessary insurance requirements, the penalty for not paying on time or not paying. It is all down and explained. Why does the loan which pays for the schooling to graduate in a certain subject not do this? Do they explain the income you will receive when graduating and be in debt? How long does one have to work to pay back that loan? Will the certificate you receive be worthy of that cost? All this should be explained when giving the aid.
Is the schooling you get worth the education you will receive? Years ago, a medical wagon would pull into a village, and the doctor would sale a cure all for all things possible? This little bottle for only a dollar will cure all dieses cure anything you could ever contact. The sales pitch was practiced, and those same lines are teaching our students to get a paper on the wall and be in debt forever.
What is the point? There is no such thing as a free meal. Education or dinner the cost should be considered. A Five-hundred-dollar hamburger would be hard to swallow. A certification on the wall with a lifetime of debt would be the same. Why does this higher education not include basic fundamental explanations, and guidance, both for the student as well as the scholastic institution that is providing it?
