Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.
I think that it is an interesting point of view to contend that the main event of learning is not actually the learning but rather the learning experiences that you have in the form of dealing with problems and figuring out how to live life from a young age. The teacher is saying that people put unneeded stress on themselves and also put unneeded emphasis on the math and reading aspects of school, rather the focus should be on the actual problem solving skills that you are gaining in the process. He states that kids need to start making decisions that are mature and that are bettering their lives, instead of skipping class and acting as though their education does not truly matter in the long run, which it certainly does. The main event, as stated by the author of this blog post, is dealing and overcoming adversity and being able to get over the obstacles that are inherent in a high school education.
