we learn to speak,
we learn to write,
we learn to count,
that's education.

but everything changes in high school,
education is slowly losing it's true meaning,
we compete for high marks,
we compete for good grades,
just to overcome the fear of getting into 'bad' colleges and universities.

we learn something without knowing the purpose,
we memorize facts without understanding,
that's education of modern world.

it had made it such that,
people are judged on their level of education,
Diploma, Degree, Masters, PhD,
important certificates just to get recognition from the society.

so think about it,
are we really educated or are we just a person,
who everyone calls 'nerd'.
