One of the most common trends now, especially in my country, is; Education is a Scam? and this has brought me deep thinking; Is Education a Scam?
From my Understanding, Education means receiving structured learning patterns most especially from a School or Institution. We can then use this term to define an Educated person as someone who is learned or passed through an institution.
In a way, I can relate to the fact that saying Education is a Scam means saying Learning is a scam because what these Institutions provide is to bring in tools that would make learning easier. And what are these tools in question asides from the material things like a 4 wall classroom, tables, and chairs are:
1. The Opportunity of Having an Instructor: We all know that everyone needs a particular person that would impact something in our lives, that would give us a form of direction. This instructor serves as that person who would impact knowledge and necessary skill toward what our goals are.

2. A means of Having accountability partners: I bet, if you try learning something yourself without having an instructor and an accountability partner, learning would be so difficult and frustrating. But, in an Institution, you have an instructor and fellow mates who share the same goals as you.

From there, you can select an accountability partner who would be there when you need someone close to share your challenges with, especially when you don't seem to have good communication with your instructor. Not everyone likes their instructor you know.
3. Form a Circle of Friends: One of the reasons why I am encouraged to go to school every day is because I get to meet my friends. Not necessary because of learning but the motivation I draw being with like minds. There is this feeling and energy when you feel among people alike; that feeling of being with a family. This is the opportunity a School Provide.

Omo the aspect of instructor is true o. Not having someone to instruct you will make you feel as if you don't even know how to do something and the funniest part is that one will quickly give up on learning that thing.
Circle of friends, been around people with positive will surely trigger something big in you. Great post from you boss
smiles... just imagine, we fit no sabi ourselves if school no dey. not to talk about sabi weytin Hive is.
Good points and well said, how then can we say learning is a scam. Never... Learning would not only make you know a thing but also gives you ideas about improving and updating that thing you've learned.
Thanks for sharing with us boss.
