Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. Do you agree or disagree with the writer?
I think that this teacher is absolutely correct. Although we learn new things and acquire knowledge throughout our academic career, that is not its main purpose. He is saying that schools main purpose is to prepare young people for the obstacles, hardships, and adversity that they will undoubtedly face in their lives. The teacher is begging his students (and all students) not to give up and not to quit; otherwise we are missing the point of education and will not be fully prepared to take on the real adult world and be successful.
