3 REASONS WHY SCHOOL IS NOT A SCAM.

          Last last school na scam! Last last school na scam!!,  I'm pretty sure you are familiar with this line, especially when it went viral Sometimes last year. And to be honest, I also bought into it.

Many have weighed in on this issue, and most of them have being in support of the belief that school is actually a scam. But here I am telling you that school is not a scam, school is actually bae 😍 and I would like you to read on for you to see my reasons. So, let's rock and roll.

*1. YOU HAVE WRONG EXPECTATIONS OF THE SCHOOL*: this is easily one of the biggest reasons why many people believe that school is a scam, and that is evident in the fact that almost everybody think they go to school just to be qualified enough to get a job. So when a graduate finds it hard to get a job after school, he starts seeing school as a scam. I'm sorry to bust your bubble, but you need to stop seeing school as an automatic ticket to a job. The school was originally intended to help teach important skills, and impart you with knowledge in different areas of life, and not to get you a job or fetch you money.




2. *THE SCHOOL IS A GREAT PLATFORM FOR GROWTH:* The school system might not be really be the best, but it is a platform for growth. In other for you to understand this, you need to start seeing school beyond what goes on in the class or what your lecturers feed you with, and look into the amazing platforms that the school provides to help you become a well-rounded individual. Beyond the calculations in Maths and the long hours of reading we put into different courses, the school is a place where your talents are discovered and developed. To give you an instance, many reference the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates as individuals who never completed their tertiary education, but what they don't tell you is that the school environment was were they had their tech skills well groomed and it served as a platform through which they could show people what they are capable of. So my friend, with a benefit such as this, you still say school is a scam? Like seriously?


*3. IT BRINGS PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TOGETHER:* School is one of those places where you get to learn how to establish good relationships with folks from other backgrounds. Irrespective of your ethnicity, religion, social status or even nationality, the school is a place where you find all manner of people, and with this, your understanding of people gets broader and it also does a lot to improve your communication skills.
