hould a student in the Passion class be asked to critique Education? Should a student in a passion class be asked to look into themselves?

For the first question, my response is that a student in passion class should critique education and not just students in the passion class but every student in general. The reason why it is important is to point out the flaws that the education system has and how we can improve this. It is also important because it is the education we as, a student, are receiving. Is the education good? Are we really learning to be professionals in life? Or just reading everything off of a book?  The better the education system is the better our future is, because even if we don’t want to accept the fact the education has a lot of flaws and we are greatly affected by it, it is the truth.

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." -Anatole France

This quote is very true in this situation, because going to college is seem like everything has to do based on how good of a memory you have.  This shouldn’t be the case because memorizing a whole lecture or a book is not going to lead you to real success in life, because you aren’t really learning anything. In the end the only person hurt in this situation is the student. Because bad education has a negative impact on the student he/she should criticize the education system in order to change the way it has been structure thus changing your future. If this was the education you cared about and your future depends on it wouldn’t you criticize   it?

On the other hand the education system isn’t the only thing that should be "judge”, the student should also judge him/herself. This is a very critical thing to do because even if there is change that favors students in the education system, the change would be useless if the student doesn’t really put much interest in school. Some of the reasons might be that his/her parents are obligating them to go to school. Another possible reason is that they are unhappy with their major, that they don’t put the same interest as someone who is passionate about the carrier they want to go into.

 "One person with passion is better than forty people merely interested."— E. M. Forster

 This quote relates to the interest a person put not just on education, but life in general. When a person has no interest in something they do not put any interest in getting something better for them, in contrast a person who is very passionate about something is willing to critique themselves to become better and by consequence change the education system. These people are willing to accept their own flaws/mistakes in order to come up with a solution that will make them a better person. Because of this i believe that criticizing the education system is very important, however you must also criticize yourself (evaluate) yourself in order for these two related topics to have balance.
