Document Summary
Much like a parasitic disease of the mind, the education taught in schools is, undeniably, detrimental to the brains of children. Superficially, it is difficult to accept that one"s education does more harm than good. The ability to gain knowledge and allow the brain to burgeon is essential to human growth, but this process does not necessarily take place in a school environment. There are places and people all over the world that are just as important to learn from, such as traveling to different destinations in the world and talking to the people that are living there. The university system has an ideal education process that allows students to expand their minds through a self-teaching method; however, high school education does not prepare the mind for such a simple tasks. School, the schools education system shelters students by inhibiting their ability to construct their own opinion, to flourish intellectually, and to develop a sense of originality.
