1 answer:

4 0

While traveling through the Second Ring, Dante and Virgil come across a place with many dark trees, but no actual people. They can hear voices screaming in pain, but they can't see them. Virgil tells Dante to break off a twig from one of the trees, after which the tree cries in pain and starts bleeding. Virgil then explains that all of these trees are souls of people who've hurt themselves during life, those who have willingly discarded their own bodies and committed suicide. Thus whenever the tree is hurt (a branch broken off), they feel pain as if they were dismembered.

In two paragraphs or more if you were granted one wish and it had to be about changing education. What would you wish and explai

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The word "education" has very generalized meaning, it is a lifelong process of learning and acquiring new skills. The education itself cannot easily be changed, but the school system and other methods of gaining education can be. If I had the chance to change the school system, which is the most common way of gaining education, I would attempt to make it more individualised and give everyone the attention they need to get the best out of them.

I believe a good school system also needs to take into account one's individual strenghts, because everyone is good at something, but isn't always given the chance to show that in school. As Einstein says, "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by the ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing...... "(the filter does not allow me to say this here, check out the quote and fix it). I agree with the idea that school should help everybody acquire fundamental knowledge as it helps us understand the world around us, but without forcing them to study unnecessary things they aren't interested nor good at. It should have more practical purpose and teach people more things that are necessary in life, to help them improve in fields they find interesting, to not only educate but also discipline the youth and make them good people.
