The best help I can give you is that you should start thinking about the relation between education and thinking. One aim of education is to introduce you to the facts (the data) and to illustrate how one or more conclusions can be drawn from it. Since different people sometimes draw different conclusions from the same data, we learn that facts by themselves do not give one definite conclusions. And we learn the difference between those who have taken the trouble to check the facts and those who have not. Somebody said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinions but no one is entitled to his own (invented) facts."
Choosing a topic and studying it can be illuminating: take the role of the great individual in history. Learning about a series of leaders--say, Alexander, Caesar, Gandhi--can teach us how the three exercised leadership in diverse settings and influenced their times.
At their best, educated people walk around a dark room with a powerful light; the uneducated, particularly if they think they know more than they do, stumble.
Ordinary events can inspire geniuses: Archimedes was in his bathtub when he discovered an important law about the displacement of weight (he rushed out, crying, "Eureka"). and Newton is said to have moved from an apple falling from a tree to his profound laws of gravitation and other natural phenomena.
A person with a trained mind is like a trained athlete--his mind moves rationally, gracefully, and purposefully.
I hope you will draw your own conclusions on the subject, using my remarks only as a startiong-point.

roses are red,
violets aren't blue
school is a waste
for all but the best
'cause the illuminated ones know
that this is only a test.
from 3rd through 12th grade
they taught naught a lick
and i ended up quite dumb
that i maynt challenge the prick.
star wars clones knew education,
they took it all in - and saved a great 'nation'.
education programs are what it's about - not this dribble
that keeps mentions of masons out.
*mormons, jehovas witnesses, christian science, theosophy (new age), christian science, scientology - and even 'wicca' (which is nothing like the old pagan religion - any scholar will tell ya).. were all created by the masons. (as was the kkk) many MANY leaders are QUITE literally satanists. checkout symbology - checkout the 1995 INWO 'game'.. http://public.fotki.com/honorablepassion/911/ checkout the Xfiles spinoff 'The Lone Gunmen (pilot episode). http://killtown.911review.org/lonegunmen.html

Well.....this should be easy. You are in that system (just an educated guess but i suppose I'm right) What does it do to your brain-power?
Personal experience is a tough one to write in an essay but very worthwhile doing.
