Week 9. Should education 'stretch a person do you think? (What do you mean by 'stretch'?)

I think education does stretch a person, it depends on how much of a 'stretch' for different people, but there is certainly a stretch, to a certain extent, for most.
For example, the most 'stretch' a student can have, in this sense, relating to his/her education, is where the student is not doing particularly well in their studies, grades or behavior and they are helped, encouraged and supported with all these aspects and so turn out very good grades and changed their behavior and continue with further and higher educations. This is a large stretch in a persons life as well as education and so is something very positive and well achieved.

A student can be 'stretched' by education on a smaller scale, based on these terms aswel, by simply sticking with educational programmes and activities from the first pre-school experience to leaving education with masters degrees and PHD's, or even then continuing within the education system by teaching it.

Or people who leave school, for example, with a specific qualification to carry on into a carreer with this and continue and do well for the rest of their lives is also a certain degree of 'stretch' from that initial education.
