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 this is a very powerful blog post written by a very intelligent teacher. He states that he has been losing sleep over his students because they are not understanding the main point of school. He says that in the long run, school is not most important for educating you, it is most important for teaching you valuable life lessons such as how to deal with people or how to learn respect or how to keep pushing through when you are challenged with adversities. He says that we will be challenged many times in our lives and school is how we learn to cope and deal with them. The "main event" is that we as students need to learn to push ourselves and do our best. The point of school is not how many math problems you can do correctly, it is about how you deal with the stress and pressure that school will inevitably bring. School can teach you many life lessons and you just need to be intelligent enough to learn from them.
