Not everything that is learned is contained in books

AGREE

We can learn everything with books – no need to go to school and read book by ourselves – going school is enough to learn everything - students should be required to attend classes or should be optional for students - learn better by

themselves than with a teacher - Attending classes and learning from school is better than getting information outside the class. Do you agree or disagree - Do you agree or disagree the statement "We learn important things in classroom?"

 Sth like personal experience cannot be learned from books – self-esteem – should get experience from their teacher knowledge – learn how to work with other people – like working as a team on a university project – social interaction – can learn from others – make friends – get help from others in the case of need
 To summarize, the requisition to understand ideas and concepts exceeds that of learning facts because it helps students be a successful person in the future and improve their personal lives. It is highly time we stopped focusing on facts which are absolutely trivial and pay attention to values which can revolutionize a person's life.


 ( disagree : Increase Scientific knowledge→ e.g. encyclopedia, broaden our mind. Scientists from centuries ago have studied and summarized much knowledge for hundreds of years so we can trust the information. Books help us to cultivate the specialized knowledge.
 Learn new skills→ cooking ( new dishes, foreign food), taking care of baby, health care
 Learn about different cultures →If we are interested in culture in other parts around the world, we don't travel to others, by reading books, we have much understanding of belief, customs and habits of those who don't belong to our country
 Develop moral senses→ Bible, Quran, psychology books. Know what is right or wrong. Teach us good manners. Books on ethics are important to us because they sharpen human personality.)

Controversy exists over whether the amount of financial support that is given to sports and social activities by universities and colleges should be equivalent to that of classes and libraries. I believe, however, sports and social activities are by far more important than classes and libraries since they help students enhance their personal lives, develop social skills, and make progress in their academic studies.

Study/have a job you don’t like – go to school although we don’t want

way of learning new things (build new skills) →

Employees for their entire lives

Businesses should hire employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or disagree?: disagree

 Decreased performance→ staff soon gets boring with their stable job in such a long time, they will not work efficiently, The same-old-same-old environment soon makes them depressed, take them days and months to complete a task
 Increase in unemployment → No job for young graduated students, not allowing them to explore their potential young people who graduate from universities and colleges would not get any jobs in the industry until the current employees retire or resign from their jobs. These young and educated people will suffer as they would not get a chance to work and experience the things that they have learned during their education.
