You can be excellent after studying 16 years, but who can guarantee that your level is top-notch? Take painting and music for example. With so much hype, top talents may not be famous, while unknown singers and painters are basically waiting to die. I can't support myself after studying for more than ten years, but I still have to rely on my parents' salary to support myself, right?
Doing questions and exams is only to test whether you have studied hard, and the college entrance examination is the standard to measure talents. Otherwise, who will go to Tsinghua Peking University and Lan Xiang Jin Dongfang North for auto repair, can you decide at will? A lot of knowledge in primary school and junior high school is common sense of life, with personality shaping and moral cultivation. If you don't learn, wait for the joke-singers and dancers can't even change the light bulb, painters can't wash dishes and cook, and your so-called Bill Gates spits everywhere, which has no love morality and harms others. I'm not saying that these chaos won't occur after reading primary school, junior high school and senior high school, but the proportion is at least much less.
As for how much you have learned, hehe, you really haven't learned much, others have learned a lot. Your classmates must have attended a series of first-class universities in Tsinghua Peking University, and there will definitely be masters and doctors going abroad for further study, and there will also be powerful executives in the future. They are not necessarily painters and singers, nor are they necessarily computer professionals. But others can go from generalists to majors, and only by accumulating basic knowledge in all aspects can they accumulate wealth.
As for appreciating life, this is even more hehe. No matter how heavy the school work is, it is easier than mixing with society, and no matter how black the school fees are, it is better than society eating people and not spitting bones. After you step into the society, there will be many opportunities to appreciate life. If you don't want to, you will definitely feel it. I hate you ignorant juniors, who keep saying that you have been obliterated by exam-oriented education. What kind of genius are you? Why aren't you famous, sought after by the media, and there is no corresponding agency to promote you?
If you don't like studying, don't study. Talk it over with your family and tell them you won't go to school. You want to learn painting and vocal music. If they don't agree, you can wait until you graduate from high school to learn these things for 16 years. Then, if you really become a Picasso-style big shot, just tell me and I'll jump into the river at once.
