In recent times, there is a school of thought that students are acquiring just theoretical
knowledge

 and there is no practical aspect of it during there entire tenure of formal education. In my opinion, I opine with
this
Linking Words
 line of thought but not everything can be explained using practical. On the one hand, there are few subjects learning which are predominantly for building analytical skills and
knowledge

.
For example
Linking Words
, the theories of the history subjects cannot be explained practically and are meant only to gain
knowledge

.
Moreover
Linking Words
, topics related to logical reasoning are meant to build problem-solving capabilities.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, practical experience is far more important.
Firstly

, theory without practical application is a half-
knowledge

 which is very dangerous. Bookish learning will definitely help, but the reality is far and few between.
For instance
Linking Words
, a biological student having just know-how skills will not be able to understand other complication while performing his

 operation.
Further
Linking Words
, there is a huge gap between learning and application. It does not correlate that school
knowledge

 can be directly applied in the field of work. There are many other nuances while applying the bookish
knowledge

 on the ground. To illustrate, organizations practically trains there fresh graduate hires before deploying them on real-time projects. To sum up, it is impractical to have hands-on in certain areas which are only to gain
knowledge

.
However

, I am of the firm view that in order to achieve success, rigorous experiments need to be performed along with a thorough understanding of the core subject.
