Video is old as hell, I forgot where I watched it. It's worth a watch.
Also the music if anyone was asking is "Adagio In D Minor"

I feel like schools systems should be reformed. In which you learn basic skills such as writing and basic math. Then College wouldn't make you waste your money by stop making people take irrelevant core classes. Also, near the end of College, they should simulate how you would do your job, rather than you trying to find rare internships.

Here is where my point of view on school.
Personal experience:
The whole school vs education this mainly deals with grade school and not much with college/university. Because half the shit you do in grade school you'll never use in the real world. Now with college, if you have your basics done, everything that you learn in those years are going to be what you are going to use in your life (hopefully) if you choose a job with those courses.
To end; School is there so that you make the right choices in route to your education...to get the job that you want. If you got lucky and have a stable job without a degree, keep it and and never look back.
Personal experience:
I graduated High School with a 3.4 GPA and got a couple above average scholarships, did well on the SAT. Those did NOTHING for me. I ended up going to a Junior college. I only did 1 semester of college and left with a 2.0 GPA (I may be giving me to much credit), I did some online schooling for a while to get my basics done forever, but that did not work out. Fast-forward a year and now Im working at UPS and about to start another part time job. And I feel so much better about myself.I have no degree, 1 semester of junior college and I already have a job that I can use for the rest of my life. I was talking to some of the drivers at UPS and a couple have degrees at the University of Texas or Texas A&M, but there are also some that do not have any education, and they are earning the same amount if they had a degree.

Mickers wrote I love to learn, except in school we learn the wrong things. And i agree with the user above. In the business world which i am trying to enter, it is all about who you know and what you know.
I disagree. In school they teach you the fundamentals that will get you into a University. The point in a school is for people to progress, thus higher education. You then get people who decide school is not for them, who go and work.
I work for a company called Fujitsu, I love it. I have learned many things, more so than I did doing my A Levels, but I still find school mandatory. For one, you'll learn simple communication skills that you will need. You will learn discipline, punctuality (time keeping), how to word your sentences for communication.
Many of the things you may find irrelevant whilst in school, surprisingly (I know) do come up in your day to day job.
