Should education "stretch" a person, do you think?

Week Nine.Task Three.

"Stretch" in terms of education, I believe, means to expand and grow, but mainly to challenge. I think education should attempt to expand people's knowledge. People should be challenged (or "stretched") in terms of learning. I believe challenging people encourages people to try harder and reach the best of their ability, and possibly even further than that, thus making the person more inelligent and/or gain more knowledge about a variety of things. I believe "stretching" people through education, will help individuals get the most of what they are learning about Also, I think that if people stretch themselves in education, they are more likely to try hadrer and stretch themselves in other aspects of their lives. Such as hobbies, sports and relationships.
