Studying is not the only thing you learn from the school.

There is a stereotype in Asian education system. In Asia, students just want to get high grade in the test, so most students do not know what they learn from the test. They just memorize what they can; besides, they follow parents’ hope to go to high school and get into college. However, this phenomenon affects nowadays some students do not know anything expect for studying. What I noticed in nowadays society is some parents would tell their children “only you have to care about is studying, rest of things such as doing house work or socializing, is not as important as your school work.” When the first time I heard this, I was so shocked. In my opinion, I totally cannot agree this point of view. Because until we finish the school, we need to face the real side of society. The most important is the social relationship. There is an old saying goes” By parents at home，depend on the friend outside.” Therefore, we need to start to build self’s social relationship from school in order to adapting in workplace as soon as possible. Just like the author mentioned about getting good grades or scholarship at school is not worth to be proud, however, what you can realize in school such as social relationship more is more worthy or useful than others.
