School is purposely established to educate, and it improves personal lives and helps societies run smoothly.
It also widening business orientation all rounder.
If permitted I will say school should be compulsory

Alright, let me tell you the reality. School is a big scheme of BUSINESS. Why? A businessman will build a school to create a highly generating business platform. Product = Knowledge Costumer = students that need a degree. People have the choice not to go to school but lots of people were brainwashed that bachelor degree is a must as an individual. It was too epic that people believed that degree could save them from their current situation. All I can advise is that, find your passion and make it a career. If the degree is really needed for that career unlike sports, then get it.
Brainwashing and teaching us to obey authority. I reccomend that anyone that actually cares about their children to home school them and forget about the corrupt schooling system.
And how to teach children at home if parents work in order for you to live, eat on the ground?
Many do not have the opportunity to sit with their children at home and teach them themselves.
That is why school is needed ... and then each goes his own way through life.
A school is a place of instructions! personally, it makes a man restrict is thinking to a certain field or a programmed way of doing what is right in the society so it actually gives separation and set some individual aside think they are better than the rest.
If you look at the origin of school it actually meant to build principles into an individual
If you look at the origin of school it actually meant to build principles into an individual
School is actually a place where we learn a lot about anything,i think is to enable us learn the foundational basis of education,which gives us mindful exposure.

According to Udemy from Sarhn as someone who has spent over half of her life as a student, I can vouch for the importance of school. While new school years are often met with groans and complaints, it is our civic duty as parents and human beings, to educate our children, not to mention ourselves. School serves a number of purposes from building confidence to teaching children the importance of teamwork and working with others. School helps guide youngsters though the establishment of a daily routine, which is of utmost importance as we direct them toward the workplace, and as they become productive members of society. Students are provided with access to new ideas, including science and language, and are given the opportunity to learn more about world cultures, geography, and personal history.
There are many types of schools available, ranging from private to public to homeschooling. Online academies and a number of public and private school programs offer Internet-based learning too. Whatever the choice, a person’s schooling is always more effective with positive reinforcement from parents or guardians. The Home-School Connection, a course by Steve Reifman, offers excellent advice and instruction to help parents and guardians work with together with teachers to guide students through many successful years of education.
Let’s take a look at why school is so important to children of all ages (and adults too!):
1. Confidence
Learning about new subjects and becoming proficient in a skill can help a child (or an adult) grow exponentially. I grew up in a city where the arts program had been completely deleted from the public school I attended. We moved when I was 15 to the suburbs of Houston, Texas, to a school that not only supported a fine arts curriculum, but also had the second most successful arts program in the state (quantified by the number of students who had graduated from high ranking university and private college-level art programs). I thrived at this school and my confidence increased tenfold because I had access to classes, teachers, and administrators that supported my love of the arts, and gave me a community of fellow artists to have as a support system. This small community gave me a sense of belonging and a safe place to experiment and grow my skills as a visual artist, which in turn provided me with the confidence I needed to apply and eventually attend art school.
2. Socialization
Humans are social animals and we need people around us to survive. School, yes even online school, can be an excellent way to build a network of friends and a like-minded community. I recently took an online course with an artist whose work I admire. Almost instantly, I was provided with an extensive online network of the instructor’s former students, who were available to offer advice and support regarding assignments and projects. Now, even months after taking the course, I’ve managed to maintain a connection with my instructor as well as a number of my fellow students. My graduate school experience also provided me with a number of friends that I currently work with and utilize when I’m putting together a new project. These connections and relationships can offer you guidance through the career landscape and offer help when you need a recommendation or job position or a shoulder to lean on. I’ve found that many of my friends from this period in my life have experienced similar struggles and successes, and their presence in my life has often helped me during difficult times in my career.
3. Teamwork
Friendships aren’t the only important relationships that can be built through school. A school environment offers students the opportunity to learn to work with others, which is a very important “real world” skill. Through games and projects, and even participation in after-school sports, children can learn the importance of forging relationships with each other. These activities can also help us learn to manage difficult personalities, find our way as leaders, and better understand the way we work as individuals. These lessons provide us with valuable experiences that as adults, we use everyday. Working with others is all about managing different personalities and finding ways to make your workday run more smoothly.
4. Preparation
Even if you graduate with what seems like a useless degree in today’s economy (yes, I have a degree in drawing and yes, I have another degree in weaving) all forms of education can lead us toward a fulfilling life. As my 96-year-old grandfather says, “there is a job for everyone,” which I have found, despite my cynicism, to be true. School doesn’t merely teach facts and figures and numbers and letters. School is crucial in preparing children to become their future selves. As someone who has worked a number of jobs and has been in school for most of her life, I’ve found that each person I’ve encountered, each class I’ve taken, and each job I’ve worked has taught me something about myself and has pointed me toward my specific career direction. Without that freshman level art history course, I never would have been able to teach the same subject five years later, and without those multiple English classes, I wouldn’t be sitting here now typing this blog post.
5. Information
Perhaps one of the most important reasons to attend school is the wealth of knowledge and information provided within the school setting. School provides a safe haven for the spread of ideas, and often gives us access to subjects and ideas that we wouldn’t regularly find in our homes or with our friends. Learning a new language, for example, is often best done within the confines of the language’s native country. Most people do not have the means to spend the many years it would take living in a foreign country to learn another language. School can often offer access to those who have had the opportunity to really study a second or third language, and those educators can give a first hand advice on pronunciation, culture, sentence structure. I recently took a beginning Japanese course at my local community college with a woman who had grown up in Japan. I learned at least as much in that class as I did in a single year of work for a Japanese company, and I had a blast learning, not only from my teacher, but from my fellow students as well.
6. Inspiration
I’ve found, as a writer and artist, that school has not only helped me develop lifelong friendships, work strategies, and career goals, but has also functioned as one of my primary means of inspiration. If I hit a patch of writer’s block, or artist’s block, I’ve found that taking a course can often reignite my passion for my craft. A year ago, I was completely lost in terms of my studio practice as an artist. I wasn’t making any work and I felt like maybe my time in fine arts was over. My husband suggested that I take a workshop that the local art school was offering, and within a month, I was drawing and painting again with the passion that I’d had when I first entered art school nearly 20 years ago. Even as someone who has worked as a professional educator, I never feel as though I know everything simply because I have a college degree. School benefits everyone, and it’s important to remember that everyone can better himself through learning.
7. Community
A school can function as the center of a person’s community and can act as a meeting place, a place for children to grow, and a second home. Despite my disdain for school as a child, I grew up to appreciate the sense of safety and comfort it gave me, and I consider that so many of the activities that gave me my identity as a youth were cultivated at school. My elementary school, located in the center of my neighborhood, was the home of the park where my sisters and I played, housed the pool we swam in, and held the library where we checked out our first books. The school wasn’t simply a place to sit and learn, and it became a centerpiece of our community where kids attended band practice and chess club, and where parents often sat for hours waiting for their kids to finish their activities. I read somewhere recently that as humans, all we really desire is a sense of community and belonging, and I think a school can provide that for both children and adults. Even online school programs, where the user is alone with his or her computer can empower a student with the help of the community of learners it creates.
School is not only important to us as individuals school helps society progress by educating its members who bring their newly acquired information to the workforce. School boosts confidence and teaches us to establish and maintain friendships, and helps us learn how to work together as a team, which is a primary tenet of any successful society. Without school, knowledge would not spread as quickly, and our access to new ideas and people could easily be cut off. A world without school would create difficulties in language learning, and would stall the dispersion of economic growth, tolerance, and the appreciation of our fellow human beings.Whether you’re a parent seeing your child off to his first day of kindergarten, or you’re a graduate student finishing your thesis, school can bring you knowledge, friendships, and a better understanding of yourself and your place within your culture.

School is to learn and be able impact knowledge to another person but not to be rich but only to live and average and slavery life and school will never teach you how to be rich but will teach you how to serve with good conduct and behavioural attitude
School is meant to lay the foundations so we can learn further things. If people don't know how to read or do not understand math, they will have a hard time learning anything remotely technical. But yes, I agree that there are classes that seem to be pointless, especially those that try to go deep on chemistry or biology (I probably had to learn much more biology than I cared for) or such while you are still in school or high school, because if you are inclined to such, you will study such at college anyhow. And yes, schools fail to teach more day to day stuff such as how to write checks, how loans work, and so on. At least in my case, I had to learn all that on my own.
Over the years I think schools will tend to be less encyclopedic and more about teaching students how to learn to understand things on their own, as knowledge will be so vast that one single person cannot learn it all. Having said this, schools are the foundation of it all, and one keeps learning new things along and during the entire life.

Everyone starts their life with school and how you do not say bad, but without it just anywhere.
I'm not saying you get a great education at school, but it's part of the process.
School is the formation of a person-there he begins to show himself, he shows leadership qualities, so without it just anywhere.

What is School for?
Nowadays, indoctrination, with a tiny bit of training that supports the indoctrination.

Well, I don't think that school is useless and can't teach anything. School can teach you what is real life. To be honest, I was really good pupil in school, but in college i understood, that educating on all A's, just not worth it. I started to get friends, links and so on. I was just using ukessay.com/write-my-essay for all essays and I don't regret a thing.
It depends. Friends and connections can get so far. When it comes to being competent on the job, even friends might not tolerate incompetence especially when it hurts their cause.

The purpose of school is to breed and train children to face the future challenges of life and find their path.
but sad to say most schools nowadays do not meet that need instead instill a spirit of competition and comparison in the heart of the child, not making a conducive environment for the child to harness his/her full potential or ability.
Each child has a unique potential that should be properly nurtured and given attention to by his/her school teacher

School/education serves three purposes in my opinion.
One is to provide knowledge, learning, information and other instances skills, critical thinking. Although I would say that our school system sorely lacks on this front now and standards of education and knowledge have really diminished.
Two is economic reasons. The reality is that most people who go to college do it to make more money. Either just that piece of paper and also a high school degree(vs not having one) means that you will earn substantially more money in your life time. Also you might learn something or more likely from your experiences and what you make of college have some sort of skill that you carry on with you.
Three, Indoctrination/brainwashing. Society uses institutions(which school/higher education is) to condition people and you could argue in some ways this conditioning is positive at least for the 'society'. If everyone has a certain standard, they agree(or are forced to out of fear of consequence/shame) to follow certain norms that makes it easier to get along and also for the society to be more productive right? Education basically conditions people and their behavior and it prepares them for a long life working and being compliant with the government/society/systems. Even if some tolerance/dissent is allowed it is just that, it's allowed so that can people say what they think and discuss instead of acting on it and to create the illusion that the society is open when in reality the institution and principals and rules of society are very rigid are considered the 'right' ones.
Also college engages in brainwashing students as well now, although this is more political and in my opinion because of a political faction that has a large influence in college and so now people are brainwashed to have a certain ideology and allegiance based on that ideology

I think the school system really needs to change a lot. I think that the school should become more free space for learning and focus more on the individual.
For me, school is not for your future. School is medium that we can learn atitude and social.
But school can help you to find your passion. School is mandatory for me.
But school can help you to find your passion. School is mandatory for me.
For me school is a routine habit carried out by children from the age of 5 years until he grows up. School is a means so that we can become quality human beings, useful for ourselves, family, environment, even for the country and nation. School is a place to seek knowledge such as reading, writing, counting.
Basic skills, yes. They are necessary for everybody, but I don`t think that it should take that much time - I believe it is possible to optimize education so it won`t take that much time.
Greetings to the world,
I am actually inspired by a public figure in facebook, and it really affect me and make me questioned myself What is school for actually?
As a student, I wonder how can these academics studies will benefit students in their future? Are these complex mathematics problems/ equation will going to have a real life use in the future? It also doesn't make sense to me why school system is forcefeeding all the knowledge in 6 hours per day and then measures all the knowledge you memorize thru a papertest?
What about the students who have a passion in their life but the school is destroying it little by little. Also, school doesn't teach students on how to buy their loans, houses, or any other stuffs that might be useful in their future.
School makes student depressed, suicidal, feel stupid, wanna die, hate life, sick, nervous. Is this what school for? Or maybe I am not just realizing it.
I am an average student, I just feel pity for my classmates who's trying their best but it is not enough. They have dreams but the school is destroying it.
Ps: English is not my native language.

Education was a very important matter for us to know everything in this world. Sometimes there are some teachers in the school who teaches the students in a wrong history. Like we have in my country, we have here that some school teaches us that one of the politician here died a decades ago already they told us he is a Hero but after 30 years many of our citizens here found out and discovered that it was all lies, we found out that the Hero they teaches us was a traitor of our country, they deceived all their citizens for a decades.
