school, 13 years, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week . . . Chantelle's cup

School. 13 years, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. All for what? Potentially gaining a career? No guarantee though.  _ Chantelle

I loved the ambiguity of this sculpture - as a metaphor for education as either a struggle or a helping hand - I don't know which it is and for each individual it is one or the other or both.

Viktor's cup - Education is a tool

Education is a tool to prepare you for the adult life that includes things as learning stuff like math and science but also things as learning to be independent. Schools nowadays focus too much on the math and science stuff and not enough on the rest, but that’s just my opinion –Viktor  from Denmark

Kristen's cup

'School teaches us many important things that’ll help us in the future, but it also teaches us many things we probably won’t need. Like does everyone need to know how to find x? And why do I have to stress about finding it even though I don’t care.'
