'School of hard knocks' = trường học của những cú đấm mạnh -> những trải nghiệm từ thực tế cuộc sống chứ không phải qua sách vở, trường lớp đặc biệt được tôi luyện qua gian khổ, nghịch cảnh.

Ví dụ
Fellow central defender Bennett sees £80m Maguire up close tonight as Manchester United visit Molineux. Both of them have graduated through the school of hard knocks on their way to carving out careers as Premier League stars.

Len graduated from Jerome High School in 1961 and then attended the school of hard knocks. In 1960 Len joined the Idaho National Guard and later was in the Army Reserves. On June 17, 1961 Len married Velma Slatter who for 58 years were best friends and partners.

Angela graduated last year and is now in Grade 8 at Nombuso High School. Allen is in Grade 5 at Ithuba and is now a few months away from topping his father’s highest educational achievement. You might say Ngeleka is a graduate of the school of hard knocks. In 2002, at the age of 15, he lost his father to a stroke (đột quỵ). It left him with little motivation and when he relocated to KwaNzimakwe, 10km from Trafalgar on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast, he drifted into crime (phạm tội) and drug abuse (lạm dụng).
