High school may be the most important aspect in your education. It teaches you basic concepts in math, science, English, and history. If you don’t learn the basics early, you will struggle in college or in your later life. For example, if you decide to skip algebra and trigonometry in high school but you take calculus in college, you will have a very hard time because you didn’t learn the basics. It is important to be as knowledgeable as possible so you will go far in life, and this can only happen if you start off at the beginning and work your way up. That is why I think high school is important, because it provides as a stepping-stone for learning in your later life.
Autodidacticism is a huge part in your education. Sometimes in life, you may have to figure things out on your own. Sometimes you may have a mentor but he may not know what he is doing. In cases like these, you may have to incorporate autodidacticism into your life. This will give you a different perspective of learning. You may find that you retain the information easier teaching yourself. You may find that you are horrible teaching yourself. Some people are just better self-learners than others. Self-learning may be from reading resources or through experience. For example, you could teach yourself math by reading and memorizing formulas in a math textbook. You could learn how to hunt by going out into the wild and hunting a wild boar. Both are different ways of self-learning, but they are both learning on your own.
I expect to use roughly 70% of the information I learned in high school in the future. High school pretty much teaches you basic concepts and values that you will need in the real world. It not only teaches you book knowledge such as science and math, but it also teaches you how to act towards your peers, how to be a good person, how to do the right thing, and so on. I have incorporated all of these values into the equation of how much information I will actually use in the future, and I believe it to be around 70%. I guess it really just comes down to what you will be doing with your life. If you were really good at science and math in high school and you decide to become an engineer, you will probably use more high school knowledge than most. If you decide to be a bus driver, you may not use as much high school knowledge as the engineer, but you may still use values that you learned in high school. In the end, everyone will be different depending on your occupation, but the more knowledge you absorb in high school, the more likely you are to use information 10 years in the future. In other words, stay in school!
Intelligence is hereditary. But I believe that if two intelligent people come together to make a child that does not necessarily mean that that child will be smart. I believe that a child may be intellectually inclined compared to his peers due to genes, but that doesn’t mean he will be a smarter person than the other person. I believe that environment plays a very important role in how your child will turn out. The reason why a genetically smart child will probably turn out smart is because they will be raised by their genetically smart parents who will use challenging vocabulary around them and their intelligent values will begin to rub off on him and he will become smart. If that same child with gifted genes were to be raised by a set of parents with lower IQ and less opportunities they will not reach his full potential but they will probably turn out smarter than a different individual in the same scenario without intelligent genes. So regardless of their surroundings, that child will be naturally smart, but they could have been so much more had they been raised by smarter individuals. Alas.
