Many people go to school for an education.They learn languages,history,physics,chemistry and maths.

Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.School education is very important and

useful.Yet no one can learn everything from school.A teacher,no matter how much he knows,can not teach

his students everything they want to know.The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn.He teaches

them how to read and how to think.So much more is to be learned outside school by the students

themselves.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or formula.It is actually easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths.But it is very diffcult to use a formula in

working out a maths problem.Great scientists,such as Einstein,Newton and Galileo,didn't get everything

from school.but they were all so successful.They invented so many things for mankind.The reason for their

success is that they knew how to study.They read books that were not taught at school.They would ask many

questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
