Learning is a process. It's a process of failure and success. Teachers are the main medium through which learning is manifested. An environment that promotes and supports learning is usually school. This should be the case, right? Of course, but it isn't always. The buildings themselves are mediums and such. What usually deters the process of learning are other students. This is usually due to lack of motivation or deterring of others' education as a result of personal failure.

School is a place for learning. Some people learn what they think they need to and are satisfied with that. Others, intellectuals, are those who delve deep in the subjects being taught and those beyond. Then there are those who properly learn what is being taught, and bother not to delve deeper. All of these students are smart in their own sense. Some people become knowledgeable, others become experienced, and others are well rounded. There are benefits and downfalls to these decisions, but in the end it is up to individuals to either be content or discontent.
