In this article, a teacher explains what school is really about. To him, academics is not what school is all about, it is about pushing through obstacles and staying on track of what is really important. I agree with this article 100% and I think many teachers need to read this article as well. The "main event" is to overcome difficulties when life gets hard. Many students (including myself) tend to quit when school gets hard. I very well know the feeling of walking into school and already deciding not to try to get anything done because I have "more important" things going on in my life. I have learned a lot from my four years at Blue Valley High School, and not one of those things is due to the curriculum. I have learned that not doing anything in school because I just don't feel like it will not get me anywhere. Being rude to my teachers because I do not do anything in their class will not get me a better grade. I have learned that my actions have consequences and if the amount of effort I put in will affect how successful I am in the future.
