Education is the Key?

     Labeling yourself based on background is something that should never define you or be used to define you by anyone else, yet it happens everyday. Someone who could have been playing guitar since they were two, and then apply for a guitar teaching job at twenty-one could be rejected right on the spot no questions asked because they "weren't qualified." You never know what background someone could come from. A person can test 130 on the IQ test and still get denied access to secondary school because they had to take care of their sick mother throughout grade ten.

    Everyone judges. Someone could be walking down the street with crocs on, and someone who saw them would call them a dirtbag because of their appearance. Education systems are perfect examples of this. Just because someone doesn't have an eighty average or pays attention in class doesn't mean they're delinquents. Learning isn't easy for some people, and teaching should be adapted to different learning skills and personalities. Entire careers are based on educational background. Whenever someone is in construction or working at tim hortons at age 50 bystanders will say "that's what you get for partying too hard in high school." In my opinion, everyone should be given many chances to prove themselves and education should adapted to learning skills and home situations rather than being so cutthroat.
