(You could blame the student for everything). On the other side, you could question the fairness of the school system... I've been through different types of schools... Public schools, private schools, from elementary school all the way to University... College and University are not fair because some students get really easy teachers and some students get really hard teachers. I've had teachers who have asked questions based on material that they have never taught in class. I actually do listen in class (I don't text in class). Also, some teachers are extremely unfair when it comes to grading... I remember a developmental question where I wrote down eight steps. I made one small mistake (I wrote down a plus sign instead of a minus sign for one question). Just because of that error, I already lost 50% of the grade for that question. I have a lot of experience; I listen to other students... Some students had to stay up all night to finish off some reports or projects. But ironically, these reports are not worth much (in terms of the grades). I know that the exams have a lot of value, but the exams are not fair. Some exam questions are poorly worded and, as I mentioned earlier, these questions are not graded fairly. That being said and there are a number of exam questions that are not even related to the course! I think that college and university is a conspiracy to turn people into robots. Some people dropped out of university and they managed to get themselves some really good jobs (look at Bill Gates, for example). The only thing positive about college and university is the fact that they have some really good sports teams.

I feel the same way.Knowledge can not decide or change the fate of people.Even if someone graduates from university,it doesn't mean that he will get a good job or have a good destination.Almighty God says ," Some people choose a good major in college and end up finding a satisfactory job after graduation, making a triumphant first stride in the journey of their lives. Some people learn and master many different skills and yet never find a job that suits them or find their position, much less have a career; at the outset of their life journey they find themselves thwarted at every turn, beset by troubles, their prospects dismal and their lives uncertain. Some people apply themselves diligently to their studies, yet narrowly miss all their chances to receive a higher education, and seem fated never to achieve success, their very first aspiration in the journey of their lives dissolving into thin air. Not knowing[d] whether the road ahead is smooth or rocky, they feel for the first time how full of variables human destiny is, and so regard life with hope and dread. Some people, despite not being very well educated, write books and achieve a measure of fame; some, though almost totally illiterate, make money in business and are thereby able to support themselves…. What occupation one chooses, how one makes a living: do people have any control over whether they make a good choice or a bad choice? Do they accord with their desires and decisions? Most people wish they could work less and earn more, not to toil in the sun and rain, dress well, glow and shine everywhere, tower above others, and bring honor to their ancestors. People’s desires are so 'perfect' but when people take their first steps in the journey of their lives, they gradually come to realize how 'imperfect' human destiny is, and for the first time they truly grasp the fact that, though one can make bold plans for one’s future, though one may harbor audacious fantasies, no one has the ability or the power to realize his or her own dreams, no one is in a position to control his or her own future. There will always be some distance between one’s dreams and the realities that one must confront; things are never as one would like them to be, and faced with such realities people can never achieve satisfaction or contentment. Some people will even go to any length imaginable, will put forth great efforts and make great sacrifices for the sake of their livelihoods and future, in attempt to change their own fate. But in the end, even if they can realize their dreams and desires by means of their own hard work, they can never change their fates, and no matter how doggedly they try they can never exceed what destiny has allotted them. Regardless of differences in ability, IQ, and willpower, people are all equal before fate, which makes no distinction between the great and the small, the high and the low, the exalted and the mean. What occupation one pursues, what one does for a living, and how much wealth one amasses in life are not decided by one’s parents, one’s talents, one’s efforts or one’s ambitions, but are predetermined by the Creator.”(from A Continuation Of The Word Appears In The Flesh.) |
