Too Well

Miss Carrington was a famous actress. She began her life in a small village named Cranberry. But that was long ago. Now she was to perform the leading part in a new comedy. A capable young actor Highsmith by name dreamt of being Miss Carrington’s partner in the new play. He told it to the manager. The manager explained to the young actor that if he wanted to play the part he must persuade Miss Carrington to accept him as her partner. The young actor knew very well that it was a part of a young farmer.

The next day he went to Cranberry where he stayed for three days and gathered much information about the life and the people of that small village. Then he returned to the village and went to one of the restaurant where actors usually gathered after the performance. He saw a small party sitting at the table. The star of the party was Miss Carrington. She noticed a poorly dressed man enter the restaurant. He approached the famous actress, greeted her and told her much interesting news about her relatives and friends from Cranberry. The way he spoke made her believe every word he said. She was sure he was a farmer. In the end he told the famous actress, that her mother wanted to see her again before she died. Then he gave her a rose he picked up from a bush in front of her house in Cranberry. Miss Carrington was so touched that she couldn’t help crying. She thanked the young man and invited him to see her again at the hotel before he left the city.

The next morning the young actor, dressed in the latest fashion went to the hotel. He was sure Miss Carrington would agree to take him as her partner in the play if he told her everything. To his surprise he was told that Miss Carrington had left for her native village forever. Highsmith realized that he had acted too well.

What Is School

If you asked a random person on the street what they though the purpose of school was, they would probably say something about education and be done with it. Beyond simply educating the masses at their most receptive ages, school is, more than anything else, about preparing the student, as a whole person, for the real world.

Many students can’t remember many of their lessons from primary and secondary education. But they will often remember certain defining social situations, and whatever growth accompanied those events. If, after completing secondary school, they decided to further study a subject from secondary school, they would likely remember a lot of information pertaining to that one subject, but may not be able to recall much from other subjects. School is much more than simply sitting in class and taking part in lessons.

Schools have, for a long time, also recognized the importance of growing the entire person, rather than just their brain. Concerts, dances, open- and close-of-semester ceremonies are just a few examples of schools actively trying to socialize their student body, beyond simply sticking them in a classroom and leaving it at that.

To summarize, schools have always functioned as more than simple centers of learning. They are the bridge from adolescence to adulthood, more than any other institution, and their role shouldn’t be underappreciated.
