After learning about Ruby Bridges’ experience and hearing Tupac’s perspective on education, how do you think school and education each impact a person’s growth and opportunities? Can someone be educated without traditional schooling? by Etchison, Tamia

Like Ruby Bridges proved, formal education provides crucial social learning and resilience alongside academics. Schools offer structured environments where students develop both knowledge and character through shared experiences and challenges, preparing them for real-world success.

tamiaetchison — 2025-10-17 11:55:11 UTC

Many successful individuals have thrived through non-traditional education. Real-world experiences, mentorship, and passionate self-study can lead to profound personal growth and career opportunities, proving formal schooling isn't the only path to success.

I say school builds it up, but you don't school to know stuff that you're gonna need in real life because it doesn't teach you that

2025-10-17 12:58:04 UTC

school gives the foundation of students the understanding of education which can impact a person's growth in a postive light

I think traditional schooling is useful because it builds basic human connections and possibly lifelong relationships. Also you gain advanced reading, math, science, and history.

2025-10-17 12:58:29 UTC

Basic reading in writing is the most a student should be required. There are many people in this world who dont even go to college or finish high school and they still end up successful. Education can be taught anywhere and it doesnt have to be taught in a school at all.

2025-10-17 12:58:37 UTC

School and education can impact a person's growth and opportunities by giving them basic knowledge and allowing them to take classes that can help them learn things that are associated with careers they want to pursue in the future.

2025-10-17 12:58:46 UTC

School teaches people things like math that could help in real life, but aren't all guaranteed to help.

2025-10-17 12:58:51 UTC

Breon Smith

School can help ones education, by having the teacher being cordial with the students as seen in ruby bridges experience the teacher was extremely accepting and became friends. Which went on to help her in school.

2025-10-17 12:59:04 UTC

School is like copying and pasting the same knowledge in kids year after year since the beginning of school. It teaches you unimportant stuff that you probably will forget when you're in the real world. You need your own experience to really learn. I know a kid who lives in the mountains who never went to school and can barely even read, but he can take an engine apart with his eyes closed, and he says he wants to be a mechanic. How would school have ever taught him how to do that?

2025-10-17 12:59:31 UTC

I think school and education the traditional way is important also because some people need a traditional way people's brains all work differently but school doesn't teach you important things after a certain grade really past elementary school we need more classes that will help us in life or let us pick classes that we want to do when we get older.

Christopher Nazario

2025-10-17 12:59:53 UTC

Ruby Bridges explained that traditional school education can promote unity and fight racism. School can provide social lessons when you connect with others but it doesn't accurately teach things we need to know outside of school in the future and instead just makes things harder and repeat lessons.

2025-10-17 12:59:56 UTC

I think the school can impact a person's growth with like the people they hang out with.

2025-10-17 13:00:38 UTC

Education helps teach you things you will almost definitely need, and it helps build the future you desire.

2025-10-17 13:00:40 UTC

Aldrick

I feel like everyone has a different experience at school whether is sad or exciting and it effects everyone differently. You can be educated at home but it wont be the same as if you when to normal school.

168681_5 — 2025-10-17 13:00:46 UTC

Traditional schooling has a few benefits such as socialization and routine but it also ruins peoples creativity. Most students in traditional schooling students have no creativeness in assignments or in real life because they are told to follow the details and not add their own stuff.

2025-10-17 13:00:55 UTC

Marcus rohan

I think school and education can impact a person's growth by giving them more opportunities, such as ctae classes, which gives students experience in the workforce giving them more opportunities in the future with the experience they get from learning these things inside school

173024_8 — 2025-10-17 13:01:15 UTC

Keke Simpson

I think that you don't always NEED to go to school because you can learn almost everything in the streets for real. Everyone just makes it seem like school is just the most important thing in the world when there are other things that you can do to make it in the world.

2025-10-17 13:01:24 UTC

The effect of hearing Tupac's speech about education made me think that today's learning and education is outdated. In my opinion someone can be well educated without going through a traditional schooling as an example, homeschooling is a unique way of learning and gaining a real education with out going to a school. The impact of school and education can have a negative and positive effect on a person, it can either help the individual grow or decrease the success and mental health of the person. (Xavier Stokes)

168681_5 — 2025-10-17 13:01:53 UTC

Homeschooling or collage helps people get creative with their work allowing them to follow their passions instead of conforming to the schools vision of them.

2025-10-17 13:02:17 UTC

People can be educated with traditional schooling, but without it, they are missing the basic knowledge they will need to have in the future.

2025-10-17 13:02:21 UTC

You can successfully learn with non traditional schooling because you are able to choose what you really need to learn for your career path and you get to learn on your own time, take how long you need, and have as much freedom.

2025-10-17 13:02:32 UTC

I think school and education the traditional way is important also because some people need a traditional way people brains all work differently but school does'nt teach you important things after a certain grade really past elememty and though we hate it if we don't make a change it won't happen

2025-10-17 13:02:36 UTC

Alternative education is an easy way to not succeed, but also an amazing way to get a level of education that most people don't have, which is street education. For example, some of the most successful people right now don't have a college or even a high school education.

2025-10-17 13:02:54 UTC

Many people don't need traditional schools and have become very successful, and it will teach us about real world experiences and many things that you will use in your life. Non-traditional learning is great for people who are determined and know what they want and its also great for people who need real life problems so they can learn about things that really matter but in all I think both is important.

-Christopher Nazario

173024_8 — 2025-10-17 13:03:15 UTC

School can be important because you DON'T learn EVERYTHING in the streets, so what you don't learn there, you can learn it in school.

2025-10-17 13:03:19 UTC

School can be important but it really isn't the end all be all with everyone that hasn't went to school get there education.

2025-10-17 13:03:29 UTC

I believe people can learn many things without being in school. However, It doesn't mean it'll get them far in life, they just have a disadvantage than somebody who's went to school. For instance: It shows that if you have the right attitude and a small amount of luck, you could be a streamer, a musician, and a social media influencer and make just the same amount if not more than somebody who's went to school their whole life and learned how to do something that generally helps lives out.

2025-10-17 13:05:00 UTC

Alternative education usually doesn't work out the best, especially in this society. It causes people to not have proper communication skills, and can even lead to false education.

2025-10-17 14:44:27 UTC

School greatly can impact your futures and the way the rest of the world turns out. However, a great education IS the way to succeed in life. A LOT of uneducated people turn out very poorly in life and end up ruining other's lives because they chose to ruin theirs.

2025-10-17 14:48:44 UTC

I think that an alternative school is helpful, but not as productive as the traditional school system. I believe that this is because the traditional school system has been normalized and applied worldwide, as in styles in communication, personality, manners, schedules, etc.

2025-10-17 14:49:41 UTC

Many people can be very educated even if they didn't graduate high school or go to college.They can learn from things like self teaching and real word experiences. But school can also enhance your critical thinking and build confidence so you'll be ready for real world experiences.

2025-10-17 14:49:51 UTC

School and education impact a person in the way it can give a person the starting points to then expand into their passion. School can also give opportunities through clubs or acknowledgements. However, traditional school is not absolutely required to receive education, though a person probably wont learn everything that a person in school will learn, homeschooling or learning through relatives can still teach you essential things.

2025-10-17 14:50:03 UTC

School can help your way of learning and give you a different look on things. However school can also give you a LIMITED version of things you cant to know meaning you have to search further than you want. Also there are many people who havent gone to school/got a full education and have been very successful like smaller streamers or influencers. School is not always needed to be successful.

2025-10-17 14:50:19 UTC

I believe school has to a larger influence than most other ideas in someones life. The outcome of school should be different in everyone's life due to the fact everyone learns differently, yet the outcome should still be succesful. I also believe school CAN be taught without traditional schooling because schools need to constantly adapt to new kids based on many factors, one traditional way cannot accommodate for the different backgrounds of 1000+ kids.

169493_5 — 2025-10-17 14:50:24 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges and Tupac's school/education experiences it opened my eyes to the difference of the two words. For me, school is a strict type of learning, you are taught to learn a specific way that people want you to learn. In school there is little freedom about the things you learn about and how you learn about them, most schools think repetition equals learning when involvement and hands on teaching is how you genuinely educate and shape the minds around you. Education gives a broader and greater variety of learning, hands on learning is an education! When you go out of your way to create a better understanding of things you're curious about for yourself and your peers, it engages your brain into wanting to know and discover even more. School and education are different to me because one does the bare minimum for you, while the other pushes you to learn even more.

238783_2 — 2025-10-17 14:51:13 UTC

I think that school can benefit you if you use the tools provided correctly in order to achieve your goal(s). Though education can be very helpful throughout life, if you do not learn the right things you cannot get very far in life, school is there to provide certain classes but not all. -JM

2025-10-17 14:51:19 UTC

School is a place that is required for you to learn. School can help you a lot as long as you take advantage of it. Sometimes school can help you and sometimes it's just the basics. It can help you in the future such as your career and many more things you may be interested in.

2025-10-17 14:51:49 UTC

Many people can be very different as far as learning wise everybody learns differently than everybody else. I believe school has a larger influence than most other ideas in somebody's life.

257923_2 — 2025-10-17 14:51:59 UTC

I personally think school is a way of learning, and we can't change it. But I do think school can benefit everyone. Right now, for most children in school, they struggle, including myself; that's not your teacher's fault. Most adults today learned so much from school, and I believe children bring themselves down to the level they don't want to be at. I do genuinely believe that children my age, older, and even younger can change the way they learn or see teachers because one teacher can't change the way you see the world, school does require your attention, and you can change that, not your teachers or the work you do, not even your parents

2025-10-17 14:52:12 UTC

School can impact a persons growth by developing critical thinking, and building self confidence through academic achievement and other successes. School can be educated anywhere it just depends how well you use you resources to benefit your education.

2025-10-17 14:52:12 UTC

Louise La Borde

School significantly impacts a person's growth and overall life due to its diverse range of subjects. But at the same time, it only includes certain subjects that might not benefit us in the long run. Without traditional schooling, a person might be educated, but without the paperwork or experience of conventional schooling, it might be hard for them to succeed in the real or professional world.

245093_6 — 2025-10-17 14:52:59 UTC

school can be beneficial but you don't need to learn everything that's required for you to graduate, instead of taking non important required classes for your career pathway we should be able to take classes needed to build our experience for our career pathway. School can teach you important things but half of what they teach isn't important for the real world depending on what career you want to do.

209715_5 — 2025-10-17 14:53:02 UTC

I think that school can have a positive impact, but it can also have negative impact. You can gain social skills, and aquire basic knowledge. But for some people traditional school doesn't help them. Some people don't thrive in learning environments, like school, and school doesn't really help with figuring out what you want to do when you leave high school, it mostly just teaches you basic things and makes it harder throughout the years, and I just don't think that's always helpful.

169493_5 — 2025-10-17 14:53:49 UTC

Alternative school gives you a non-traditional way to learn for students who cannot thrive in the basic learning environment. I feel for students who have a desire to learn more deeply alternative school would be more beneficial because it is more inclusive than basic on schedule school.

2025-10-17 14:54:34 UTC

I think that school can benefit you. School helps everybody differently,buty it can give you a different perspective of school

2025-10-17 14:54:38 UTC

I think that someone can definitely be educated without traditional schooling. After hearing Ruby Bridges' & Tupac's input, I believe that school may be slightly undervalued since it feels like it has just been given to us these days. Also, I feel that even though the traditional school system is very repetitive and systematic, it still provides some outlet to the beginning of what we should know before leaving school for the real world. The traditional school system doesn't prioritize anything but basic education.

2025-10-17 14:54:55 UTC

Alternative education is valid because not every person can afford traditional schooling, nor does it work for everyone. However, alternative school might not teach you everything that traditional schooling will.

2025-10-17 14:55:02 UTC

School is more of a , how they wanna teach you and its not personally what you wanna learn about until you get to college. Some can be somewhat educated without traditional education but traditional education is like your starting point. But school can have a positive impact on some people but it can be also bring stress.

2025-10-17 14:55:03 UTC

I believe that school is forcing kids to learn the basic knowledge of working in a factory. It doesn't give enough space or variety like education. Forcing you down to learn simple things that is probably not going to be used by your future job. Education brings more variety of opportunities of learning or leading more towards the job you want to do when you grow up.

238783_2 — 2025-10-17 14:55:14 UTC

Alternative education can provide plenty of curriculum's, some you may want to learn for your future job but you cannot always learn that way, sometimes you may have to improvise or change your way of learning to secure your education in the future.

2025-10-17 14:55:25 UTC

I believe both school and education play important roles in personal growth and opportunities. Ruby Bridges’ experience shows how school can be a powerful place for change and opening doors, but it also reflects social challenges. Tupac’s view reminds me that education extends beyond the classroom, it encompasses life lessons and self-awareness. School gives structure and resources, but real education can happen anywhere, through experiences and learning on your own. I agree that you don’t need traditional schooling to be truly educated because growth comes from many different places.

2025-10-17 14:59:20 UTC

Alternative education has so many more pathways, but it's not as accepted compared to traditional schooling, which is a crazy thing to consider, because if school is so amazing, then why are students so hateful or so reluctant to put the work in or meet the expectations that teachers or parents want them to meet for school(Lynnden Callaway)

2025-10-17 15:35:55 UTC

School can teach someone of something they may have interest in, but in-school experiences could diminish someone's curiosity and cause them to lose interest in what they were first looking into.

-Ivy Bigham

2025-10-17 15:39:33 UTC

Alternative education isn't just homeschooling or other methods of schools, it can consist of attending a job, traveling, or just searching for the sake of interest. While someone who has had alternate education may not have as much school based understanding, they could be able to speak on and explain subjects that school may either not teach, or actively opposes.

Aubrienne H.

I think a person who goes to school would most likely have better growth as a human since they can interact and learn social skills at school. They would also have more opportunities since not going to school is usually looked down on at first glance. ON the other hand, I believe that even if someone doesn't go to traditional school, they can be as smart or smarter than a person who goes to school. Like how some people are book smart and some are street smart. When you get to the real world, you learn quickly which is more valuable.

167076_10 — 2025-10-17 15:40:35 UTC

It can be impactful because not everybody needs traditional schooling some people are just smart differently and can be just smart on a deeper level

2025-10-17 15:41:01 UTC

Jovana: Schools can teach us so many things, but we might want a career that doesn't really require the things taught in traditional schooling. School definetly help students grow as people, as they teach us so many things, you get to ineract and learn with a community. You learn how you need to act in environments and I think that its is really important to learn those things.

2025-10-17 15:41:02 UTC

School can make a person look at education as a bad thing or a punishment, but that's not what it is for at all! School is a place to learn and grow. Someone could be schooled the traditional way, but some people don't learn like that. Teachers sit here and give them a FRIGGIN PACKET YO!

2025-10-17 15:41:56 UTC

I believe that school can have its benefits and cons. Schools overall atleast in my opinion have more cons than benefits. School can be considered to be a prison as you are stuck in a room for 7-8 hours a day, students rights like freedom of speech is acted as if their words don't matter or they are punished. School does teach paperwork skills and other things but does teach you taxes, how to handle law suits or car insurance, or even how to be a decent person. School for me has been repeative for the last 11 years and has became more of a hassle to actually come and learn than when I am learning something I enjoy. I already knew my career im going to choose but and hindered because they set the same expectations on everyone when everyone is different.

2025-10-17 15:42:22 UTC

School can impact lives different ways, many people have had great lives because of it. I think its more of a since everyone did school before in their life they say Schooling impacts growth by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning, while also improving career prospects and personal well-being. Yes, someone can be educated without traditional schooling through informal learning (like self-study, experiences, and mentorship) and non-formal education. But maybe that's because people are emotionally intelligent already.

2025-10-17 15:42:37 UTC

I think you can learn without education because some very successful people were home schooled. For example, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Billie Eilish; athletes Simone Biles and the Williams sisters; and actors Emma Watson and Ryan Gosling. Other prominent figures include historical leaders like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. This just proves that you don't need a highschool education to be succesful in life.

2025-10-17 15:42:46 UTC

I think that school and education can impact a person's growth and opportunities because if you are excelling in school you are more than likely going to succeed in life because you want to be great in life

167076_10 — 2025-10-17 15:43:00 UTC

Alternative Education is valid because not every person can learn with traditional schooling and that's ok but if can learn with Alternative Education then that's good

2025-10-17 15:43:51 UTC

Alternative education do help people sometimes, because not everyone would want to do traditional schooling. Its also about preferences because if you don't really like what your doing now you wouldn't try excel in that. I think its not as associative as traditional schooling but it is still valid to other people.

2025-10-17 15:43:51 UTC

Shaniyah B:

School and education can impact a person's growth because education is the additional knowledge that you gain that can be applied to all aspects of your life, and school can give you some basic life skills. Furthermore, someone can be educated without traditional schooling if they truly want to gain and seek additional knowledge and education, and want that for themselves.

2025-10-17 15:43:53 UTC

School and education can impact a person's growth and opportunities by giving people socializing opportunities. In life, you have to socialize no matter what job or career you may go forward with. School can also make you grow by teaching you things you may not even know you need.

2025-10-17 15:43:54 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges' experience and hearing Tupac's perspective on education, I think school affects us the most in life. We attend school at a very young age, and we stay in school until we are adults. People in school can affect us and change how we grow up. I think education can help us the most with our opportunities in the future. Education will shape your future the most.

2025-10-17 15:44:58 UTC

I think school and education each impact a person's growth and opportunites becuase it opens them into new things! For me, learning new things is so exciting and spectacular! It gives them more wisdom and knowledge, and opens them to a big vocabulary. Someone surely can be educated without traditional schooling. Why? Being educated in school doesn't define your knowledge. You can be educated in many different things, like how to make a check, or even how to bank. People can be educated in different things, but as for some school curriculum... It's simply not needed.

245246_10 — 2025-10-17 15:45:09 UTC

Yes, someone can benefit from everyday things that they use in life. School is a place about learning, and skills. School can really impact someone's growth because if you lock something you wont use behind grades, someone who has the skill to do something that creates an impact they will never succeed. So, I think yes it affects us and leaves us falsely believing something will help.

2025-10-17 15:46:25 UTC

Ruby symbolizes how traditional schooling, especially access to value education, can be a powerful tool for breaking barriers, fostering personal growth, and opening doors to opportunities that were historically denied to specific groups. Her experience also shows how schools can be a great place for social change, resilience, and courage. School, in this sense, shapes not just knowledge but character, confidence, and a sense of justice.

2025-10-17 15:46:42 UTC

School are supposed to allow kids to talk giving them social skills because it really be our only time to get with our friends while education is supposed to give us life skills and other additional skills you might be interested in. I think School has strayed far from its purpose, its time we REVOLT AND TAKE BACK OUR FUTURE AN TAX PAYER MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

2025-10-17 16:04:44 UTC

School often provides structure, resources, social interaction, and credentials that open doors to jobs and higher education.

Education itself is broader it includes learning from life, culture, relationships, mistakes, and self reflection. However, traditional schooling can provide access to certain resources, networks, and certifications that might be harder to gain outside of it.

2025-10-17 16:10:04 UTC

I believe that school is making kids learn subjects that may not be essential to what they want in their future. This can lead to kids not doing what they truly want and ending up in jobs that they are not truly interested in.

People can be very successful even without a traditional schooling system. Many successful People dropped out of highschool and college. People like Oprah, Bill Gates, and Jay-z didnt go to college.

Johnathan Burt

2025-10-17 16:10:48 UTC

People can be educated without traditional schooling, even though they may not be on the same level of educated as a normal student, the person can be educated in different ways that aren't taught in school.

2025-10-17 16:13:49 UTC

Tupuc often talked about learning beyond formal education, valuing real-world experiences, self-awareness, and critical thinking. His point of view suggests that education isn’t confined to classrooms; it includes life lessons, self-education, and understanding one’s environment and society. Tupac’s ideas remind us that traditional schooling may not always teach everything needed for personal or social empowerment.

2025-10-17 16:15:11 UTC

School, to me, most of the time teaches some of the same stuff nearly every time, or makes you learn things that most people don't bring into their daily lives or careers. For example, in math, many teachers believe that a significant number of jobs and careers will require math skills. And yeah, that is true, but I'm not sure we need to incorporate the Pythagorean theorem into a cashier job. What I think education should be is to find subjects that will actually help us in the career path we want to take

2025-10-17 16:16:14 UTC

Yes, I think people can get a good education without the schooling system. There are plenty of other and sufficient ways to get educated, and it doesn't have to be school.

2025-10-17 16:16:48 UTC

Traditional Schooling impacts life in different ways. It teaches people basic knowledge for basic life jobs. Many people have great lives because of this learning style. Alternative Education can also be good for different reasons. Alternative education can provide various opportunities for other learning paths. In conclusion, both styles are good and can lead to real-world success.

2025-10-17 16:30:02 UTC

I think school and education impact a person's growth and opportunities because they can teach you valuable things that you would need in life. I also feel that school isn't fair because it pushes you back based on what career you want to pursue. Like when Tupac talked about how we take classes that we won't really need in life unless it is for a certain path.

2025-10-17 16:33:05 UTC

how i know that school and education impacts a persons growth and opportunities is because if you're not learning anything about your dream job or career how can you grow academically? how can your brain retain the information that it needs if you're not getting that information? benefits you and what i mean by that is algebra benefiting you is you wanna be an actor, a lawyer, or a therapist. you're not learning anything that benefits you or your career. you're learning it because you have to, you're being forced to. math, reading, science, social studies. every year as it gets harder and harder and the more you move up in grades not knowing what you need the more you are prone to struggle. see some teachers teach because they have to. not because they love it, not because they wanna see you succeed, those teachers care about not getting in trouble, those teachers do what they have to because they are forced, they tell you "grab those papers,sit down, and be quiet, this a family the teacher you're the student. they tell you "respect me im the adult, your the child" not knowing that respect goes both ways. they teach you what they think you need in the traditional way not knowing that some kids are struggling in the baclk of that class and what does that do ? effect their academic growth, performance, as well as opportunity. see if you dont retain the info in traditional school and you fail the class your gpa will go down ,you'll have to do grade repair and learn the same stupid knowledge that you learned in class just to pass. so kids rely on ai to help in way their teachers can't. but when you have teachers that care and who are there because they want to help and are there because you deserve it and they want you to walk across that stage.

2025-10-17 16:47:25 UTC

True education is about learning to understand the world and your place in it. Schooling is one path, but not the only one. The key is access everyone deserves the right to both formal education and the freedom to learn beyond it.It’s through both personal experience and shared knowledge that people grow into their full potential. When education is inclusive and empowering, it doesn’t just change individuals it transforms communities.

2025-10-17 17:08:19 UTC

I think school and education can impact a persons growth because school tries to teach you the basics of life while education can be an education for literally anything in life. School is more of a basic learning tool to give u a head start in life while education can be both head start and a lead role in anything you wanna do.

2025-10-17 17:08:39 UTC

If it is possible to be educated if traditional things dog if it becomes an addiction it is better to treat with specialists

2025-10-17 17:08:51 UTC

yes I believe someone be educated without traditional schooling. we live in a time where any skill can be obtained.

2025-10-17 17:10:51 UTC

I think someone can have a good education even without traditional schooling you'd just have to have the right teachers and environment that you feel comfortable and safe in.

2025-10-17 17:14:28 UTC

Ruby Bridges showed how school can be a battleground for justice. Tupac showed how education can be a weapon for liberation. Together, they remind us that growth comes from both structure and struggle, and that education is not confined to a classroom it’s a lifelong pursuit.

2025-10-17 17:57:42 UTC

While school can offer education, it doesn't teach what's needed to actually survive in the outside world.

2025-10-17 17:57:57 UTC

A person can be educated without traditional schooling. This is because one will not learn how to navigate numerous social situations in a traditional class, such as English or math, but rather through experience, which may take place in a class. The education one receives will also affect a person, such as someone who is homeschooled, who will act vastly differently from someone who attended public school.

2025-10-17 18:01:27 UTC

How I think about school and education, and how they each impact a person's growth and opportunities, is that I think school could be way better with the perspective of Tupac's, and how he was saying that it should be more specific for each person and what they want to do(Nathan)

2025-10-17 18:03:30 UTC

How school and education can impact a persons growth can is when say you've never went to school, that would impact in my opinion is social skills and basic learning skills like how everything in school is basically taught over again you would miss out on those skills, and life skills you would not be able to or know how to talk to people regularly because you grew up not going to school and getting any social interactions .

180006_33 — 2025-10-17 18:05:40 UTC

school will always form someone to do great in life its just the way they receive everything given to them to help. Also yes someone could be educated without traditional schooling but it wouldn't be the way others are. They would be educated more in life than the regular person that went to regular school.

231306_37 — 2025-10-17 18:05:43 UTC

School and education imapacts a person's growth growth by forcing them to abide by things they don't want. Someone can be educated by things that they like or have knowledge about something

2025-10-17 18:05:50 UTC

I think that a person can be educated without traditional schooling; they can have smarts like math and sports smarts, but you would have to be consistent and disciplined to learn about something

2025-10-17 18:06:39 UTC

School and education each impacts a person's growth and opportunities by setting them up for oppurtunities and success that they may not get or would've had outside of the area. Also, some things we do or learn in school wont help us in the real world or when we grow up, just like Tupac said in his video about math or gym not pertaining to knowledge that we need to know. A person can be educated without even having traditional schooling as long as a person has a good teacher.

A person can be held back during "school." School tends to hold students back because they are forced to learn things that aren't really going to matter in the real world. School is very repetitive, and you are stuck learning the same things repeatedly. When it comes to "education," it helps prepare people for the future. We have more freedom to learn what we want to learn to be someone in life. A person can be educated while schooling because there are things that we learn in school that will help us, but not all. It's just trying to figure out if what you're learning is education or just plain schooling.

2025-10-17 18:07:32 UTC

Education can be used as a pathway for your future career. Yes, I think someone could be educated without traditional schooling by learning from parents or experts.

2025-10-17 18:09:19 UTC

Someone can most definitely be educated without traditional schooling if not even more educated. Especially if they are taking the path they want to take which could allow them to learn more expeditiously in a slower time than kids in school.

2025-10-17 18:10:02 UTC

Yes a student can be well educated without traditional schooling. School is just a repetitive cycles that goes on for 12 years. I feel as if Tupac's explanation was well said because there is only surface based learning and unneeded classes. School is not preparing students for their future work. What if your pathway has nothing to do with Science or Social Studies. While education is just a chance to have a diversity of learning and avoid self centered views that can come across as ignorance. Education is a chance to prepare for real life experiences and lessons and that knowledge can be used to avoid hardship.

2025-10-17 18:11:29 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges' experience and hearing Tupac's perspective on education, I think both school and education can impact a person's life. For me, someone can be educated without traditional schooling because education allows you to learn whatever you want. In contrast, in school, you are required to learn a limited amount of information.

218682_11 — 2025-10-17 18:12:51 UTC

School and education can impact a person's growth and opportunities because of the knowledge they get from school. School can also affect your mindset, which can be a good or negative thing, and your mindset affects your growth. I think a student can be educated without traditional schooling.

2025-10-17 18:13:07 UTC

Yes, People can be educated without Traditional education by being educated in other aspects of life that are more important than the same 3 subjects.

245700_3 — 2025-10-17 18:13:19 UTC

Education can be used as a future career. It can be very beneficial throughout your whole life through college. there is a possible way to be educated without a traditional school but it would maybe be better to go to school. You learn more and better in an open environment.

2025-10-17 18:19:56 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges’ experience and hearing Tupac’s perspective on education, I think school doesn't really give personal growth; it teaches you to be submissive and not speak up for yourself. It gives you anxiety, trouble, and helps you LEARN to WORK how others WANT you to and EXPECT you to. While education's impact on a person’s growth and opportunities helps you to be successful in life and what you do, it puts you on that pathway and helps to carve that path out, focus on what you need to do, how to manage things, and become educated on them to achieve success. If you put your mind to it you cna be educated without traditional schooling, ESPECIALLY with determination and hard work(EFFORT).

2025-10-17 18:20:00 UTC

Having heard now of the tale of Ruby Bridges integrating a school and Tupac Shakur's opinion of the school system, it can be appreciated how school and education are not the same. School is a environment with rules and study material, but education is a lifelong process. Their lives show us that school can be a force for learning, but its failures can just as easily make it inequality . True education is, however, a process ofchange which takes place with or without formal school. What school vs. education does in terms of personal development

2025-10-17 19:01:42 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges experience and hearing Tupac's perspective on education I think school and education can impact a persons growth and opportunities because now of days there are career path ways that may help you for your career choice. Education is more of something that you need in order to accomplish or acquire a job. I think someone can be educated without traditional schooling because homeschooling is a thing where parents teach there kids instead of teachers and having to go to school and interact with students.

2025-10-17 19:02:59 UTC

Personally I think a person can do anything they put there mind too. School impacts a persons growth by destroying someones creativity. This is because you can do what you want to do. When you do this you can learn valuable skills. Education on the other hand is something important, it give you what you need for the real world helping prepare you. While schools does the complete opposite.

After learning about Ruby Bridges, it was an impact on growth and why Ruby's school was a crucible that forged immense courage, resilience, and a sense of purpose at the age of six. However, this growth came at a tremendous cost, enduring hatred, isolation, and trauma. Tupac had an impact on opportunities by explaining how Tupac saw traditional education as often providing false opportunities, training people for jobs that don't exist or don't allow for true liberation.

2025-10-17 19:06:08 UTC

Scholastic and educational activities can impact a person's growth and opportunities by expanding one's mindset and skillset. I do agree with Tupac when he said there should be more subjects that we can choose from, like racism in America, police brutality, etc. It feels like we're trapped learning a few subjects that most of us will never use in life.

2025-10-17 19:06:41 UTC

you can definitely be educated outside of a classroom. Many people learn through mentors, self-study, and real-world experiences. Both traditional and non-traditional paths can significantly impact an individual’s development and future opportunities, showing the diverse ways we can grow and succeed. -LONDYN CLAY

2025-10-17 19:08:25 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges’ experience and hearing Tupac’s perspective on education. I think that school could impact the way a kid experiences life and social life. Someone can be educated without schooling, as the wisdom of life can teach many things.

2025-10-17 19:08:42 UTC

I think you can always learn things outside of school, but the experience of school is something that I think everyone should experience

2025-10-17 19:10:22 UTC

People grow mentally as they progress through school, and education is a byproduct of attending school. I believe that people can be properly educated without traditional schooling because we can learn homeschoold.

2025-10-17 19:10:46 UTC

Aubriana

Yes I believe school can impact a person's growth and opportunities. Some people can't even afford a proper education but they have bright minds with creative ideas but people who are able to afford nice private schools are 9/10 times the ones who get the good high paying jobs. Personally I think somebody can be educated without traditional schooling while school also teaches fundamentals things like basic math anybody can go to library and comprehend and learn all the information if they just read

2025-10-17 19:11:31 UTC

2025-10-17 19:11:43 UTC

Yes I think people can be taught things without the traditonal school. We an be taught a lot of things by the RIGHT people who has gotten their education.

2025-10-17 19:11:46 UTC

After hearing Ruby bridges and her way on how she changed why black people and white people are integrated in school and why Tupac believes we aren't getting educated enough, I believe that school has pathways to education, however, they don't have things that people want to know, limiting their creativity and knowledge to the outside world to happen after school and possibly later in life. Education are things that people want or need to learn, like reading, writing, basic math, social skills and other skills someone may want to learn for a specific job in life. Education is like an ocean of knowledge, while school its just a cup of that ocean that we need to gather ourselves on our own time and money. - Christian H

2025-10-17 19:12:32 UTC

After hearing Ruby's and Tupac's perspective, school and education , take the classes you need to be successful.

2025-10-17 19:12:44 UTC

While school is the foundation where you learn what the government wants you to learn, without your opinion causing growth in information. While education allows you to choose things you want to know that will help you in the future, it causes growth in information that will help with shaping your future.

2025-10-17 19:12:46 UTC

After learning about Ruby Bridges’ experience and hearing Tupac’s perspective on education I think school and education each impact a person’s growth and opportunities by making us learn and do stuff that really is not necessary for us in the real world. I believe someone can be educated without traditional schooling and they would most likely know how to do a lot of stuff way better than most people in traditional schools.

2025-10-17 19:14:17 UTC

I think school is important, but not solely for learning. Having something to leave the house for helps with punctuation and also for learning social skills.

2025-10-17 19:15:50 UTC

It impacts someone’s growth in a good and bad way. But sometimes you don’t always learn the stuff you need in school.

235443_9 — 2025-10-20 13:03:10 UTC

if feel like education and school can have both good and bad impacts. Students go to school to learn. While there are good things to learn that up can use in your daily life, while other things that you learn you won't use at all.

2025-10-20 16:09:26 UTC

i feel like education and school have different opportunities for a person's growth. for example school can allow you to an education while at the same time being able to socialize and make friends. But only having an education from online school would not assist you in knowing how to have good social skills or in knowing how to carry on a conversation.

237120_2 — 2025-12-03 15:48:24 UTC

honestly education and school is cool but tbh we honestly dont need most of the things we learn about in the real world expect for basic math and just ela in genral.
