Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

This teacher is telling us what school is really about. It's not just about the numbers, grades, and academics. The academics are important but it is not the "main event." The main event is learning everyday how to confront and deal with problems as they come along. Maturing in how you handle things is the main event. Taking something seriously such as your academics is also the main event. To succeed in the main event, you need to put in effort. You will never succeed if you do not know how to deal with life as it is thrown at you. Teachers care about their students and want to see them succeed. Sometimes students get too wrapped up in what they think school is about, that they forget to grow and learn how to go through life as they should.
