No, school make rules to enforce common sense, diligence, and the ability to make a good judgement. If we did not have school rules, students would not waste a second to take advantage of the fact that everything that was once prohibited is now completely fine to do. Take, for example, the school dress code. Our dress code rules teach us to take into account how we look to others by telling us what is and is not appropriate school attire. Without these rules, students are less likely to be well-aware of how to dress appropriately and are more likely to dress indecently and offensively. Secondly, our school rules teach us how to make a good judgement of something. If a rule says "No chewing gum in class", and students choose to follow that rule, then the argument that students will improve their judgement and common sense skills is correct. Why? Because they know that if they do not follow this rule, there will be a consequence for their actions.

The school is for us to acquire knowledge which the past generations have acquired from their experiences. It also hones our minds to think critically and properly at times. However, this is just making us BE what the adults want US to be. Its making us follow their footsteps, making more and more people like them, making repeated mistakes, living the same lives, over and over and over again. This is why rebels and the like of such a system can make various achievements because they refuse to become similar to them. Of course im not blaming the system, its just the way it has been for a lot of years and is difficult to uproot. But the way they teach us the knowledge they want to impart is a tad bit too stupid in my terms. Instead of encouraging people with low scores, they scorn them. This makes the students accept the fact that they are INDEED stupid. They tell us to score higher so that they can appreciate us more. In my opinion though, students with lower scores should be able to achieve a higher standard than those with higher scores. After all, they have a much larger capacity with regards to improvement, and this should be the way of encouragement schools apply.

School is where we begin our education but it is not where we complete it. We never stop learning. We learn more from college. We learn from the Internet. The pace of life is accelerating daily and we learn new things all the time. This is the way of life.

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.

We can choose a good school for our children and I think not all schools are corrupt, my son has a good school as of now and I don't think that they are just using their school to collect a lot of money, because my observation to my son is improving and he can also improve his communication skills and social skills.

School is considered to be our second home. It is an institution established that is responsible for a child's growth in every aspect. Be it --- academically, emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally, socially, and psychologically. However, these factors of learning are sometimes not balanced since some schools unfortunately has different standards and demand regarding a student's performance. Sometimes and in somewhere, they are not aware and appreciative enough to the multiple intelligences of their students. On the pther hand, other schools are paying attention to those and letting them nurture and grow in their own way with proper guide and support. Schools should be a platform for dreams for them to come true and for its students to become anything that they want in a positive manner --- and that is what the school is for.

Nope, you are on the right track buddy. Schools are producing robots every year they are teaching others how to follow orders because you are going to work for a company and your boss is going to give you orders. Schools are not teaching You stuff they are just training you for your future work but if you do not want to think about the future and care about your present day suggest working on what you like and you believe that your presentation skills if developed can make your future brighter then that is not what schools will focus. That is up to you and you have to give your time and hard work to grow that skill. I am very grateful that I study in a college only because I can study and grow my skills in their given time and can get much more then I have to submit them. Self-study is the main thing for a student and doesn't ever work hard for your educational institute only work hard for your own future.

ENCRYBIT — FUTURE OF CRYPTOEXCHANGE

Formally, people go to school to get education. The process always begins in a little way from our infancy stage. At that level every child is taught how to read and write. If the child continues in his education as he mature into a grown up person definitely he cannot be compared with his peer who was not opportune to go to school. School teaches us so many things; how to relate with others and especially how to face the world after graduation. School is a preparatory ground to learn and it is a continuous process because what you feel you know today may be obsolete in 10 years’ time. In fact we keep learning even after schooling because nobody is a repository of knowledge; two people may know the solution to a particular problem in two different ways.

I think everyone knows the functions and benefits of going to school, the school is useful for getting knowledge such as reading, counting and many more benefits that can be obtained for students, differing opinions about what I think is fair, but in my opinion school is useful in the future

A good aspect of schools is that they teach you the very basics. Basic math, writing, work out your brain a little, teach you to work at home and to learn.

Another good aspect of schools is that they also help in the development of a person as a whole including the social aspects one will always have since first social interactions with many people the same age always happens first on schools. As for basic knowledge though, I doubt they only give that because they also teach advanced mathematics, writing, and skills one wants.

I was thinking about mandatory education as it's the one that shapes a young person and the one that teaches everything at once, which IMO is a bit chaotic.
Higher education is more focused on your preferences and doesn't teach obedience and basic life skills. Although primary schools aren't fine in every aspect but they are needed. It's hard for an average person to achieve anything in life without basic education and guidance.

School is designed to turn people into slaves

School does not teach critical thinking skills... you are never taught how to think for yourself... you are only taught how to repeat information for a test... you only need to memorize information for a week or so at a time, and after being tested, you can forget it all

Schools don't teach you how to be a business owner, instead they teach you how to be a slave to a business owner

School gets you prepared for the 8-hour work day... which is horrible to be honest... people work 8 hours a day, spend another hour driving to work, another hour on lunch break... that's 10 hours set aside for work... plus 8 hours for sleep, leaves you with 6 hours a day for yourself... during these 6 hours you have to do other things like shit, shower, shave, cook, eat, take care of the kids/pets, etc... in the end, you are lucky to get an hour a day to spend doing what you want to do (and not much time to think about your situation of being a slave, or how to make it better)

Employers want to pay people as little as possible, so the owner/CEO can take all the profits from the company.

Sounds like a great system, if you enjoy being a slave

It all starts with school

I somewhat agree with those of you who are against the system. Schools are made to make us average, all the same. To stand in lines, act like one body, obey, listen when people with authority are speaking, learn to copy the behavior of others.

For me, school is a place where you can learn how to socialize, how to work with others, how to respect each others. But not only school teach us how to deal with other human being, school also teach us how to deal with responsibilities, such as homework and test. Basically school is a way to prepare ourselves to be better when we were alone.

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.

Presently, knowledge taught in school is the excuse to keep schools open. The reason for keeping schools open is to brainwash kids into the idea of one-world government.

It is okay thatvwe have this school system as it teaches us the basic education, but the sad thing is, they don't care about the student's physical and emotional health.

This is also another issue. School only focusses on the academics structure but not in the financial aspect. School system does'nt teach students about the need in harnessing their financial literacy. They tend to focus more on a stupid and complex mathematics. Schools are creating employees not entrepreneurs. Sad

School is supposedly the training wheels for real life. Unfortunately, a lot of them are hexagon shaped and not circles. A lot but not all of them. I suggest you watch Ken Robinson's TED talk about education. It really is inspirational and thought-provoking.

Yeah, thanks for your suggestion.
