Henry FordYou can't learn in school what the world is going to do next year.
About This Quote
School can’t teach you what the world is going to do next year. In the end, the world doesn’t listen to school rules. School can teach you how to get a good job, but what good is a good job when you don’t have enough money to pay the rent. School can teach you how to play a sport, but who will help you once you have a nasty injury? School can teach you about history and geography, but where would you be if you didn't know a couple of foreign words? School can teach you how to take care of your body properly, but who will help when that body decides it must have a major overhaul? The world doesn’t always work in school.
In fact, the world is constantly changing and throwing curves at us from every direction. That’s why school isn’t always useful.
