A school life is into an impediment for becoming a full-time devotee; it

is a question of devoting oneself sincerely to Krsna consciousness. To

prosecute Krsna consciousness there is no limitation, no material

impediment can stop the progress of Krsna consciousness. That is the

symptom of spiritual life. Spiritual life does not depend on material

conditions. We have many instances from the history of the devotees; life

such as Prahlada Maharaja. He was a small schoolboy; his father and

teachers were all against God consciousness. Still he flourished and

converted all his classmates to be Krsna conscious in spite of severe

trials upon his personal body. So it is only the question of

understanding the process of how to execute Krsna consciousness . as far

as school is concerned, we know that modern education in schools is not

very much helpful in advancement of Krsna consciousness, but still we have

to take advantage of such institutions in the absence of any other good

organisation.

' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' now u feel cool.

Then u decide to take a walk by the old school.

Nothing has changed, it's still the same.

I've got nothing to say, but it's okay.

some subjects r so speculative, so inaccurate, so impersonal, u'll have to purchase that nonsense textbook for $90, $60 used, then study each speculator, one after the other, memorize dates, names, incomplete concepts..

Personally, i can preach/teach to any anthropoly, philosophy, psychology, religion, sociology class, yet i shutter the thought of sitting in, enrolling in same said curricula.

On the other hand, Math is math, Foreign language familiarity's always worthwhile.

Which subjects interest u most?

Do you mean university?

 

It really depends on your needs. It's best to have a good education in case you decide that you do not want to pursue the brahmachari ashram. You can find some profession that has minimal working hours so you can maximize bhakti time.
