Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 208 Edition 01 of our Weekly Featured Content.

So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the second topic for this week, which is “LEARNING/UNLEARNING”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “A SIMPLE EDUCATION”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community, telling us their thoughts on the educational system of today and its highly competitive nature. The school environment should be conducive for everyone, not just physically, but also mentally. If students have to put themselves through intense stress just to make their grades, then it can’t be all that conducive, can it?
We got to see that indeed, the main focus of a school should be imparting knowledge to the students, from academic to financial and social, the necessary knowledge that is needed to survive in today’s world. However, when everything is made to be a competition, and classmates are turned into rivals, it stops being about learning and becomes more about besting each other. And that’s only toxic.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w207e3 tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
HIGH GRADES. BROKEN MINDS by 
This author told us that competition is always a good stimulus for getting better results. While students put themselves through the most stressful situations just to make good grades, it can’t really be considered a victory when the price that gets paid is in physical and mental health, and other lasting damages. The best way to tackle this is by finding a healthy balance.
GENIUS OR MADNESS? by 
*For this author, she told us that education is one of the most powerful tools that shapes a nation, and in every corner of the world, the price paid for education is always high. The struggle for top grades only leads to disastrous consequences, hence the need for a more balanced educational system that focuses also on the all-round well-being of the students.”
THE REAL ENEMY OF EDUCATION ISN’T THE SYLLABUS- IT’S YOUR SCATTERED ROUTINE by 
For this author, he told us that modern education is happening in an era of distraction, but then, in a system where schools set really high standards for admission and the demands are unduly high, students will have to go to extreme lengths just to get in and stay there. Such activities always end up leaving a mark.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
@melinda010100) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:
HEALTHY COMPETITION: THE PATH TO EXCELLENCE by 
A SIMPLE BUT PRACTICAL EDUCATION SYSTEM by 
THE BEST SHOES WITH THE WRONG FIT by
