We often complain about how school's such a pain in the ass, or how it teaches us nothing but things we won't actually use in real life. In school, instructors teach you, then give you a test afterwards to determine what you've learned.
However, in real life this doesn't happen. Often times, the test is done for us to learn a lesson. In real life, we have to get through the ordeal for us to understand what life really wants to teach us.
What do you think works better? The safety of learning inside the classroom or the harsh reality of life's lesson?
