If we would just be honest with our high school students ahead of time, it would save many of them a whole lot of pain later. Below are some scattered notes somehow related to the conventional education system.
The typical high school student is simply told to get into the "best school" that he or she can and to take out whatever loans are "necessary" to pay for that education. Our high school students are assured that those student loans will be paid back easily once they get "good jobs" following graduation. But the truth is that there are some other things that high school students should be told before they go off to college as well...Another education VS training example from the article 19 Things High School Students Should be Told Before Going to College
You are unlikely to earn RM3,000 in your first job. <- This is yet another cold hard truth that sounds sarcastic (or ironic?), from a report by local newspaper - Employers: Fresh graduates not suitable and are ‘liabilities’
Take a look on Rules #8 by Bill Gates:
Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
