Not at all. <br /><br />If education is just a piece of paper, then why do you think people are striving so hard (not just financially) to get a degree? It seems like you believe you have figured something out than no one else has. Why do underestimate people in general? Do you usually think highly of yourself? Why is that? Have you ever asked yourself that question? <br /><br />May I ask why you read books? They cost (unless you go to a library, or borrow books by a friend/relative). Sure, real literature (no garbage literature, thank you very much) and a real decent education cost – that’s whether we like it or not. Thanks to a basic decent education I knew how to write a book review when I was 15. I could also master at least a second language when I was 14. At 18 I had already studied a third language for 5 years. I wasn’t special. Many people at high school could master more languages. <br /><br />Sure, education is pricy, but it’s worth it. If you had a basic decent education you would know how to write a book review. You would also be able to make at least a half sentence of a second language correct (unfortunately I remember the title of your former blog). <br /><br />It’s not the first time I come across someone who scoffs at higher education. It’s quite expected from someone who doesn’t even have a high school diploma. It’s also quite expected from someone who dedicates her whole blog to book reviews, yet doesn’t know how to write one. <br /><br />You could think at a higher level if you just learned how to actually read a book; how to examine it critically. Learn to read and not just "read".

I am new to your blog, and I really enjoy...Hi Bria~<br />I am new to your blog, and I really enjoy learning about new books to read- so this is wonderful! I heard about this book last week over at Raising Homemakers and wondered how good it was, so I am really excited to see that you enjoyed it. I will have to check it out soon and buy it. I love books about those after high school years and what that entails instead of the traditional college route, especially Joyfully at Home. Anyways, I hope you have a good evening.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />Libby<br />www.anoblecallingblog.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
