SCHOOL ARE OPIUM

When we heard the word "school", we directly pictured with a magnificent buildings, clean, neat and complete with the organizational structure that runs the learning activities in school. While opium is a narcotic, has negative connotations. It can harm health, can cause addiction,etc. If someone has been addicted to opium, so he'll never get out of the trap itself addictive and just waiting for his death because opium has undermineed his health, but instead he felt an instant pleasure by consuming opium.
School is a place to gain knowledge, we always take "question" and "not know" every time go to school. when school was over, we always get the "answer" for the question before we take and "be out" when before going to school we "do not know". If so, whether in the form of school buildings and all the trimmings is a temple of science and knowledge has provide many benefits for human life? 
The school has scored many remarkable people in history, has scored doctor's, engineers, civil servants, midwife, judge's, lawyers and others. If it's true than that way, why the title above mentioned to the contrary with the match between school with opium?
Wait a minute, before there was denial and before we go any further, let's make a moment back in " The essential " of school it's self. I think the nature of school is a place to get scientific knowledge or not scientific knowledge, whether scientific or not!. From this sciences we can get answers to all questions we had.
We can go to school wherever we belong as long we gain knowledge from that place. We can school at the street, gardens, fields, forests, anywhere in nature!.

All science and knowledge and it's based on nature. Nature has been very kind to teach virtue and wisdom to human since the first human created on this earth. It's us who have been already crammed and forced to believe but we are willing to accept a narrow paradigm that says that school is the temple to be revered and celebrated his greatness.

Lets us open wide moment of our paradigm, there are 2 type of educations, there are :

1.  Formal Education
     This education form is as it should be done at the proper place
     of the school as outlined at the beginning of this article.
     Where science is the human observation off all phenomena
     occurring in nature, arranged in a systematic, empirical
     and scientific.

2.  Non-Formal Education
     This education-standard irrespective of the exiting standard
     in formal school and there is no other place that is nature.

Based on the above explanation, narrow paradigm saying that school is a magnificent buildings, neat and there are teachers or deans are not entirely wrong, just try to open up our head a little bit wider to the nature of the school itself.
This article is a critique af educational systems, because now days more and more educational institutions are popping up regardless of the quality of education by the education providers.


Thank You,


Kind Regards.
