    Traditionally, people who earn much knowledge at school will be praised, which turns out to be much different nowadays. With the explosion of information, it’s important for modern people to refresh their mind frequently, calling for the ability of educating themselves. Thus, I agree that the essential aim of education now is to let people learn to educate themselves.

    Additionally, with the development of the Internet, it’s convenient for us to learn new things on our own. Given the accessibility of various forms of information and knowledge, there is no need for teachers to teach students one on one. For example, I go to Google to search news and different opinions towards them, widening my horizon. While, if I ask a professor for help, I can only know single idea, which will limit my understanding.

    Some people argue that, with the help of teachers, people can learn new things with less effort. However, the world is changing so rapidly and is getting more complicated too. The knowledge we learn from teachers always need renewing. And when we gain the ability to learn new things by ourselves, we will have a more open mind and comprehensive knowledge to face difficulties.

    Above all, it is the ability to refresh our minds by ourselves that can help us keep up with the times. Hence teachers in school should pay more attention on improving the student’s independent study ability.
