Topic : The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education- Einstein. What does he mean by that? And do you think he is correct?

Many people believe that formal education is only way to learn and gain knowledge. However, Albert Einstein had a different view on this and he believed that formal education system is an impediment in learning. In my opinion, I agree with with notion and this essay will explain why formal education system does not contribute to complete learning.

At the outset, formal education system imparts knowledge to someone who has not acquired yet. Education professional only provides theoretical knowledge, which is established by someone else, to students and this knowledge can be flawed. For example, many years it was taught to students that the planet Earth is flat which later found to be wrong. Formal education does not give ample opportunities for reasoning and its focus is only provide the bookish knowledge to student to secure good grades.

Furthermore, learning for Albert Einstein was holistic process, it involved not only understanding the basic things taught by teachers and professors, but rather much more deep research into the things he wanted to know. Therefore, his learning was hindered by formal education, not only that they gave him, probably wrong understandings of things, but most likely altered his path to knowledge. His findings were so innovative that contemporaries did not fully understand them even more so they didn’t think that he was genius, rather mad man.

In conclusion, conventional education tends to limit the knowledge and alter the process of learning, Einstein has realized it, and believed that education is stopping him from learning new things and maybe make new discoveries.
