School

Students are often times never told the reasons behind school assignments. The first two years of school you learn to read and the rest of your life you read to learn. This same theme will occur at all levels of education and even more so after school is over. They don't study history, geography and other courses so they can remember facts but rather to develop mental discipline. In every setting they learn to read and the write down what they read. It is called reading comprehension and it is the purpose for going to school. Once this discipline is acquired then they are ready to select their career path. If you go to the community college to learn to be a welder, they do not hand you a torch but rather a book and then they say read this and write down what you read. When you go to work at your chosen profession the boss will hand you an project and then you read it and write down what you read. Long after you forgot about the French revolution and the parts of the cell you will still have the mental power to read and write down what you read. When students are told this school makes more sense.
