Topic: What is School for? (Read 1714 times)

I have learned a lot with regards to your opinions about the school system. I was surprised that some of the notable members here gave their time replying on this thread. Unfortunately, I don't have any smerits to send to show my appreciation for the great opinions of low-rank members.

I am now at the tertiary level of education and I feel the need to learn as much as I can inside and outside of the university. I realized that learning is not just a thing inside the school vicinity but rather on the outside too 

I think this thread can be locked now by amoderator. I forgot to self moderate the topic.

Maybe you are right that we cant mostly used those mathematical equation in real life. Because we dont need to such computation like what we do in math class when buying things.  But without school,  you cant reach anything now.  Maybe before even you didnt finished studying you can get a good life through hard work. But now, without graduating any degree you are useless.  It will be very hard for you to find a job without a degree.  School is where we learn things that somehow can help us to achieve things that we want in ourlives. 

by birth we will not know anything we need to learn something basics at least to survive in this world schools are not bad , some may have failed several times many have became professional from going to school and colleges   

School is the  second place  for an individual to acquire knowledge in relevant area of study in life. The first been the parental or guidance school, for the purpose of training a child the way to follow morally, The school is the place of educational attainment as a result of studying for the purpose of acquiring Training Certification  endorsing acquired Knowledge.

First of all, the school should be considered in terms of the adaptation of the child to society. Next comes some basic knowledge. Although the school has not been keeping pace with the Internet for a long time, especially with the advent of papersbattle with reviews of best essay writing services. Almost every student can find an answer right now on the Internet or even order a task. But I don’t think that society is now ready to completely switch to another learning system

School is beneficial from the point that you get free knowledge.
However, school is designer to create worker and not entrepreneurs, that the biggest negative point from my point of view. Get the max of it but don't rely your life from the fact if you join college or not.

School is only teaching you a basic learnings that can relate to your future like works. They didn't teach directly how to loan or buy something but they teach how you use your mind and critic something. Right now school is the base how you will see yourself, if you are well educated, you must probably become successful and you can gain a lot of respect and if not, you must hard work a lot and have money to earn the respect.

Yup, imagine that there has no school so how do people and how do the world progress as fast as it can? How the human creature ideas and invention from their sacrifices they will become notice and respect? By being student, it is too hard to suffer from hardness but always think that the school would prepare us for our future. Remember that we will suffer the most when we think that the school is just like a hell.

So you're unhappy with what they taught you, but was there an alternative? School, especially primary school, is very important. Without it people would be unable to function in the modern world. We need to know how to write, count, some basics of foreign languages.
We have different schools and different teachers so it's hard to put them all in one basket and say that school is good or bad, but in general it's needed.

I think that any school mainly plays rather a bad role in the life of most of the children. We can talk about brainwashing, wasting of time, destroying of personality, the upbringing of slaves, etc. A few of the positive sides that I can think of are discipline, skills of communication, preparation for adult life. The biggest problem is that schools cannot keep up with the modern world. As someone once said: "Kids of the 21st century are taught by teachers of the 20th century with methods from the 19th century". That's the root of all problems in this sphere.      

It's a place where you learn to write, read, do math, hang out with friends, be alone, fall in love, make fun of other kids, get bullied, skip classes, fail, or succeed. It's a controlled environment where you prepare yourself for life and you are relatively "safe" while you explore yourself.

Maybe schools aren't the best place to get knowledge and getting trained by private tutors is more successful way to obtain education. Although, schools are not only about knowledge, but about social engagement, people skills, and team work too. Those skills are required in modern life no less than knowledge.

All they were teaching in the classes is how to be like a sheep,yes this could be the best place but they are teaching the most things wrong so if we thing schools are the best place to get knowledge then its wrong.

I see your point and I also think that school is a lie but we couldn't deny that it would also help us in the future.
We know that we need job to live or to save money to start our own business and there are some teacher's who give's a good life advice.
So it isn't all bad we just neee to learn from it and on our own we also need to work hard in order to be successful.

It's not all bad though. I agree on some points and that it somehow restrains free thinking among children, but a lot of things that are essential for their preferred careers are learned or starts with education on schools. The confinement in classrooms and teaching kids to think the same is, for me, an outdated style of teaching. Lots of unneeded information are being forced into childrens minds.

School is the best place to make slaves for the future generation millionaires.Where they only teach we have to study well and get a good job but we cannot live better life if we work for someone throughout our life.We also knows that most of the current millionaires even didn't have a degree so it is a proof that we all are lied in school life.

School is a traditional lie.

Something which isn't backed up by science. More like religion. Forced upon as something necessary.

Well, parents of all kids, your kids are painting your walls, breaking your watches, creating a mess with their creativity? Let's put all of them for most of the day time under a building in a room for hours by feeding them history of how the king died or how many queens he fucked and what are the names of the king's sons and whom did they fuck and have grandsons! And how would we make them learn these shits without getting a reaction? By promising them a very bright future if they mug up these shits.

You know why schools and all these shits never improve? Because the people who complete school, even knowing how useless it is, just move on thinking that their time is over so why to bother saving others?!

Well, if there comes a time when babies are sent to school, then surely within a generation or two, parents will start to believe that babies can't learn to walk without going to school that's how it started and that's how it's all happening.

school is not so bad after all we need to know basics , like we need to at least 1 2 3 and addition and subtraction and know how to read and write and have general knowledge , if we have any talent we can pursue after school too

School is the place where people try learn an abundant amount of knowledge in 8 hours. The reason why many people do this is to not get behind in the rat race, we are under the impression that in order to get a good paying job we need to graduate. Education right now is costly and all things they teach there are not use in the real world. So in the end after you graduate, you wonder what am i supposed to do ?

I see that they have raised a thread since January 14 of this year, in any case my opinion regarding OP, those who have completed our university degree, it is very normal that many times we felt that we would not be able to with the race when We were studying it, for multiple reasons, I think it would be enough, some subjects are much more demanding than others, but I was a student and I think I am still a student in the world of Bitcoin, market and technology trading although I studied my engineering and then I became an expert appraiser, but I think that the level of demand of a university level will certainly help you to:

1.-Being able to work under pressure, (Many do not endure, for you it will be normal, because the University kept you under a lot of stress)

2.-Ability to solve problems in record time, not using books, sometimes you may need it, other times only problems are fixed using human knowledge and logic.

3.-The numbers and mathematics are in everything (Get used to it) because even the toothpaste we used previously went through a calculation to develop it.

4.- The University level or system is designed for those who can resist and approve that it is technically possible by evaluating patience, effort and amount of time that you can learn certain subjects.

According to Robert Kiyosaki, the system is corrupt, it teaches you to work for others, failure is punished and it only helps you to think of a job of 8 hours to survive, I think the paradigm to break is that each person is discharged from a University or not, you should take a risk, because there are many opportunities in each situation, very few persons see it, I think that the greatest paradigm to break is to risk without fear of failure and if for some reason not has unsuccessful, learning has been exclusive and It takes great experience, you winned experience that can become in money if you know how to use it.
