What's the point of school???
|
| Just wait until you're out of school. It only gets worse.
| #61701 can't wait
| To learn, learning is a beautiful thing.
| I'd say to learn but I believe it's more to put children into a social environment. To grow up with others your age, love it or hate it I suppose it's necessary.
| >>61721 yeah true, I am thankful for the introduction. But I feel uneasy going through a system where you need to meet standards that might not even lead to happiness in your postgraduate life.
| It's to chugg in discipline so when you start working, you're already becoming industrial fuel to run the capitalist system
Unless you're the b0ss
| Depends on the school. If you want to go to college, though, the point is to get kickass grades so you get a scholarship and don't spend the rest of your life in debt (around here anyway).
| I went to a liberal arts high school so relating to >>61736 this is kind of difficult. Everyone that graduated it either hated it for not preparing them for life or loved it but felt out of place in how the world works
| I'd say it's true for most high schools though-- the object is simply to get into college, and the object of that is simply to become a part of the system
| School is supposed to teach you things, but nowadays it's either to shove a political agenda down your throat or prepare you for shitty tests that will not impact what you do career wise at all.

| School is to teach you basic life skill. How to count, how to act, and how to cheat your way to the top.
| Wow holy sh/it/e like, you guys have very good opinions on this.
| It depend how "school" is implemented, which is strong connected to the Society and the political and/or economic System you live in. I would never say school is pointless in general. But its also important to question the intentions behind it and the way of its implementation.
E.g. I would question whats the point of grades or specific religion classes.
| the point of school is to educate people, but the stupid kids just wanna have fun and the smart kids hate the curriculum and the stupids kids use that fact to fuel their hatred more to the school system while the ministry of education is on fire
| Depends which school? Elementary? High? College? Specialization?
| Fun fact, schools we're made to train factory workers and haven't change much since. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/15/robots-schools-teaching-children-redundant-testing-learn-future
| School is very outdated as a learning tool. Many parents ride the "college is DIFFERENT from school" hype wave for that reason. Are they right? Depends on the person. The person that wants to learn but has been held back by the school system will indeed fit that system. The school system feels like it's almost made to discourage kids from learning anything, and many people enter college/uni extremely burned out as a result and don't fit the new environment. School's fucked
| My mom just said that it restrains me. Because I have the emotional capacity of a 21 year old. And I am very uncomfortable around the people my age. If I were to be allowed to just take college classes and self teach and manage, I COULD DO IT. But learning at this rate with such immature people (IG they act their age) is distracting and takes a toll on me. >>62394 >>62475 *sophomore in hs*
| It is a broken system. Trade school would be more useful.
| HS is where you learn the basic to the college. And even than, in USA HAS is weak as fuck, where I live everyone learn USA college stuff in HS. If you want to do something op, get good grades and try some project with some teacher, or study things apart.
| The system is bad, but, like some says, its necessary.
