The meaning of education

The plot belongs to a relatively old-fashioned youth and inspirational theme. A group of children who failed to enter the university have opened their own university by mistake, without teachers, and are completely free to develop their own interests and abilities.

I really like the protagonist at the end to be impassioned be heard:

"Harmon Institute has its one hundred years of history and tradition
, but tradition what is?
oppress humiliate students who could not understand
the children a lot of pressure leads to excessive pressure disorders, drug addiction

Why or why not? Coexist?
You have your rules.
Yours constitutes
your ivory tower
and we are our own.
Why do we obey your rules?

What do you know? You are a criminal
because you deprive these children of their creativity and passion.
This is the real crime

system. Designed for you? It teaches you to obey your heart and
be obedient?
What about you? Have
you always wanted to be a school administrator?
Dr. Alexander, what dreams do you have?
Maybe not, maybe you want to be a poet
or a magician, an artist,
or just want to travel the world "

I really like the protagonist’s explanation of his ideals. Indeed, education is not a rigid and stern way to deprive it of creativity and passion. The meaning of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is not to formulate learning methods based on children's talents, but to choose different according to their talents. The learning direction and content of learning. Children do not need to learn a unified knowledge, because every child is different and unique. What they need is to be themselves and play their strengths, not under an established framework Be a model social person.

It is a pity that even though this film expresses such beautiful ideas, these children still have to ask the government to give them the right to run schools.See, social recognition cannot be easily changed.

    I feel much better than I expected. What is education, and why are you educated for? The university is about to finish, and finally found out that all I have to do in the past four years is to find and position myself. I think this is more important than any professional course.
