Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 32: What I wasn't taught in school

Are you of the opinion that school can teach you everything or you've got a contrary opinion?

A school is a formal system of learning. In school we are trained for different professions of our choosing.

Am not of the opinion that school can teach you everything. In my country the standard of education has greatly reduced. Students are losing the desire to go to school due to the lack investment in the educational sector by the government and for the fact that you're going to school does not guarantee you of a well paid job after school.

From what i know from my country's educational system many at times they just teach you theory without the practical and even the theory, they teach you half way and expect you to get the rest yourself. How can such an education system teach you everything? so it's left for the student to source for knowledge on their own.

What was that situation you found yourself that your years of learning in school could not fix?

Have not really been in a situation where my acquired knowledge from school could not fix a situation but i have a family friend that got married and anytime she gets pregnant she always has a miscarriage and her years of studies in school could not help her because in my country we believe in the spiritual.

We found out that her friend who was not married was the one causing the miscarriages, she had to pray and use wisdom to stay away from her and the next baby stayed and she gave birth successfully. At that point whatever she studied in school could not help her save her unborn kids.

How did you end up fixing the issue?

Like i said have not been in that kind of situation but my aunty had experienced something like that.She had to hold on to God in the place of prayer, she engaged in series of prayers and she used wisdom to cut off from the lady even when the lady tried to ensure she stays in my aunt's life. And after that she conceived and gave birth nine months later to a baby boy.

In your opinion, how should learning in school be viewed and handled.

In my opinion i believe that we should be taught reality. Not just theories but what we face and encounter aside the walls of school. It is very important for practical aspect of what we are being taught in school as theories will not do the work. The government and staffs in the educational sector should put in the work to train students for life after school and not painting life as what will see in books .

Thanks for reaching. I would to invite @deprincedeman, @woka-happiness and @goodybest to participate in this contest.
