I have already mentioned that schools are important but their are loopholes in our education system. If you visit India you will see that a child get up at 5 am then rush to the school and then comes back home at 2 pm or 3 pm. Their is so much pollution in Delhi that a child travelling by bus becomes very tired and in many cases suffer from headache that he is unable to do anything after coming back home. He needs a rest of upto 1 or 2 hours then rushes to his tutors for studying again. Now the question arises that after spending 6 to 7 hours in school why these tutors are required? It means either the teachers at school are not capable to teach in a proper way or the student was unable to grab what was taught. That teaching of 6 to 7 hours should be very effective so that instead of running to the tutors the child can spend some time in grooming his/her practical skills or can play for sometime so that his/her physical fitness becomes excellent. Rushing to school then coming back home and then going to tutions and the coming back home to do homework is too much. Moreover, I have seen many schools. Teachers their are not doing their duties properly. In MCD(Municipal Corporation of Delhi) Schools teachers write answers on the blackboard during exams or while checking answer sheets they even write answers in them so that most of the students pass that exam and the effective result of the teacher does not downgrade. This is the bigger picture of Delhi. I don't know about whole world but I know about the place where I live. And I have not stated success and wealth are same but to live a life you need money, you need money to buy food and clothes. And if you are best in doing something then you should go for it. After sometime, you will gain wealth to live your life and you will be happy because you are doing the work that you loves to do. That happiness is real success and I will try to write an article on the success as well. Thanks for reviewing. My aim to write on steemit is not to just get upvotes and earn money but i love to get criticized and my work needs review. These reviews from people of different minds and different places can make be better in this work. So, thanks once again. This review was very helpful to me.

I couldn't agree more that there are many downfalls in most of the education systems. However, would it not be most important in understanding the place of a public education system. (Which I think should focus on teaching a person the basics in education and how to learn rather than what to learn. So in a way we do agree.)
I think the key factor, in which you have stated in several ways, would be the responsiblity of the individual to find what they are good at.
I am nearing on 30 and I can tell you that I have learned more applicable things out of school than in and I have never been content with what I want to do with my life.
I feel that a child's success at school does not start at school... It starts at home... I believe that the stronger the family, the stronger the child. And many statistics can prove a strong home to be a successful home. However, some children such as myself we're not so lucky in having a family. All I had was a public education to depend on.
I think our school systems would be much more beneficial if the point of life were implemented into their study's. That fundamental skill would be survival. You mentioned money is required to live but it is not. That is the consumer way of living by far. Rather teach the child the importance of skill in survival. Teach them how to make their own clothes, how to grow crops, how to hunt, how to barter.
Why is it that our children find it easy to explain the process of photosynthesis but have never grown their own food. They can explain the organs of a cow after anatomy physiology, but they have never been to a farm.
I mentioned of you dipicting success in the form of wealth, based in your examples and that is why I hoped you would itterate in what you found success to be. I do look forward to that article.
I find it important to build onto what we have and many of your concerns in the education system seem to be beyond reasonable as far as I can tell. Many concerns in which I share.
Your article came across as though you were stating that certain key learnings are not important if the child sees them as not being so. For that I wrote my comment. If I misinterpreted I do apologize. Thanks for replying back. I'll follow you to keep eyes out for that article of success.
I'm not in favor of hunting and a child living ina slum area it is hard to get a personal room then how is he going to get a place to grow crops and somehow if he manages to get that land then there are many things which can't be grown on land. Also there are climate and seasonal issues. There are a lot of factors which affect these things. Making clothes, he will have to start from making fibre to fabric how is it possible in todays lifestyle. Earlier all these things were reasonable but now times have changed.
And sir there is no need to apologise for anything I'm actually thankful to you for reading and analysing my article. You are elder to me and by giving your viewpoint you are actually helping me in broadening my thought process.
