This page exists largely for parody so people can use it on their profiles for educational experience. Some clever AI classified us as an actual school, so I made myself Dean. There are people out there with YouTube channels, books, and classes that call themselves the School of Hard Knocks and we are not associated with any of them. The School of Hard Knocks (also referred to as the University of Life or University of Hard Knocks) is an idiomatic phrase meaning the (sometimes painful) education one gets from life's usually negative experiences, often contrasted with formal education. It is a phrase which is most typically used by a person to claim a level of wisdom imparted by life experience, which should be considered at least equal in merit to academic knowledge. It is a response that may be given when one is asked about their education, particularly if they do not have an extensive formal education but rather life experiences that should be valued instead. It may also be used facetiously, to suggest that formal education is not of practical value compared with "street" experience.
