What is School for?

[Adegbem]

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

I don't subscribe really to the whole "brainwashing" theory. I don't believe that's the intention at all, although I do believe that older methods may not be benefiting our youth at all (class formats, etc). I think schooling could really use a shift/change.

Schooling is for basic knowledge, to get a basic education and understand fundamentals. Anything else (more specialized) should be taken w/ further consideration (college, self-learning, etc)

Sketchily, I will analogize the difference between people who are in school and people who are not in school, you can distinguish from the way he talks to you both about insight or in thought maybe you will know the difference. People who school can think critically when he is faced with a problem, while people who do not go to school will think globally about the problems he faces.

School?  What's that?

[Ciscopro2000]

School enables you to gain more knowledge.  Whether or not one needs schools depends on each individual.  I generally agree that there a better chance of success when you have at least some type of an education.  If you don’t have an education, your options are limited to what areas of work you can get into.

It is hard to learn everything yourself without the help with school. There are parent prefer to home schooling their kids, but I think unless you can provide a high standard education yourself and have also enough time to teach  kids different subjects, otherwise it is not good idea to teach kid yourself. A god school system can help people get more knowledge outside their family.

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.

Note necessarily destroying the dreams or let say future, schooling was design for us to have a Standard. But im not saying that Im not pro to those undergrad but insanely successful. We all have our stregth good for them that they found it at early age. For me schools do help people to know what aspect they are good at.

If you have read the book Rich Dad poor dad it expound the idea of your question it might guide you.

Yes with educating the students but improving personal lives should be the job of the parents and outside world of school.

It also widening business orientation all rounder.
If permitted I will say school should be compulsory   

About businesses, school would teach you how to start but experience would orient you to the real world.

The 4 main reasons for school-

Helps one find their major- for going on to college or prep courses
The stress, time management, and the priority making assist in adult life
Helps develop networking and social skills
Helps develop interest for extra curricular activities

Actuality,The school for me is a place, or organization, where a student can develop a vast knowledge of the knowledge, the wealth of his judgment.

[SplitBirb]

This is what I think school is for:

The good:
Increasing knowledge. Knowledge is important. reading books and learning is known to help cognitive levels.
Earning decent job. Only way to land a good job most of the time. Unless you know people up in the ladder, work in family or personal business, or get lucky.

The bad:
College debt. This is a nightmare for some students. Graduating with several thousands in dept and taking years to pay it off. This is only a valid  statement for some countries as in some places education is free.
No job guarantee. Going to university doesn't guarantee you a good job.
Can enslave you. Some people are stuck working 9 to 5 jobs and only have the weekends to enjoy.

In my opinion, i would go with the ladder as I love learning and reading books.  C++ developer with 15+ years. When I went to university it was a breeze thanks to my self-taught skills.  He would get me to help the other students.

Well everyone can argue for and against.

In everything there are always positive and negative things, that is the most important. We will never be able to do what we always want. And school will show us and learn us the basic things in life and let us see stuff that we would not see or would not be able to recognize. Also the social aspect of our life. Either way if you would not be in school where would you be instead?

I can understand that school does not provide everything and some of the system is flawed. But we should not see everything so negative but instead try to improve.

Well school have several usefulness whether in a direct form or indirect, and school is beyond this mere 1+1
It actually help to get better job or even help to get a better career.
It also learn to handle the pressure of Commitment outside school environment.

[Sharon121212]

School is not necessarily and education building or institution. School can be a home, a field or any place where you get knowledge.
You can get schooled in the market in the church and even here on the forum

Great to hear that. The growth of interest in blockchain among young people, I think is a very positive mood. All the same, universities should expand the number of courses in this area, as technologies will develop and the demand for new specialists is very high.

Great to hear that. The growth of interest in blockchain among young people, I think is a very positive mood. All the same, universities should expand the number of courses in this area, as technologies will develop and the demand for new specialists is very high.

Blockchain technologies are studied mainly by specialists in the information technology field. But do not forget. that in addition to developers, there is still a large segment of people necessary for project management. These are community managers and advertising specialists, etc. Each profession will find how to prove itself in the new industry and I’m sure that many students will become fans of blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Of course, if you possess knowledge of new technologies, you will be a valuable employee in any company. Although the number of universities creating courses on the blockchain is still not so large, do not disregard the taklimakan project. The platform is aimed at developing the crypto community and here you can gain knowledge about the blockchain and cryptocurrencies thanks to lectures and articles by professional traders

I don’t know how much chance people without technical knowledge have the chance to enter the blockchain industry, like mine. But I agree that the topic is very tempting and extensive. It can be viewed from the side of the subject of development, it is possible as a project management of a new type or in general from the point of view of financial systems for crowdfunding innovation.

The role of school can not be overemphasized. School are set up for the purpose of impacting knowledge, Character molding and assessment.Education in schools cover a wide variety of discipline including the study of crypto and block chain Technology as been offer in some schools. The knowledge of this kind of  Technology will in no time expose grandaunts to the existence of the advantage of block chain technology. The school is for the purpose of educational development.

School is a nice place to socialize. That's the only real benefit of school. For some people (like me) school was a place where I made friends for life. As for the knowledge.. I don't remember anything from school haha  which is a pity, of course. I think school should exist, but it should take 3 times less time, because you're right, students have no time to pursue their real dreams. Look at any famous person, artist - most of them either didn't finish school or did it in advance. School can be fun but the system sucks

They say School is our second home but why we can't sleep in class. I thought home is for rest/sleep.
