It is clear that young people today do not value education as much as Sara Smolinsky does. They watch the clock eagerly waiting for the final bell so they can leave this terrible place called school. They are sick of the work, and sick of the homework waiting for them when they get home. They would rather just be with friends or even take a nap then have to concentrate on school. Kids just wait for when they grow up so then they will never have to learn in a formal situation ever again. But they do not realize one thing: you never stop learning and a lot of times you do learn in a formal situation. When you start a new job, you have to formally learn how the system works, who are your new clients or patients, and who your new bosses are. If kids start to realize that education is important and that they need to start valuing this chance where if they make a mistake, they do not get terribly penalized opposed to a real life scenario.

I agree...the difference is just that when you learn for a job you are learning what you will have to know for your career, so you take it more seriously. In school though, you are learning a lot of things that you know will never be useful in the future, so you don't take it as seriously.
