What do you think about it?

I, personally, think that you shouldn't need to learn about the things that you will most likely never need to know or use in the future. I know some people say that it will help you better decide what you want to be when you graduate, but I think that twelve years of that is plenty of time to decide. They're stripping you of the beginning of your life. And I also think it's a bit too long. For some people, too stress inducing. And for people that see it my way, but are insecure with themselves, will be tempted to do bad things. I don't know, but I see a lot of down-sides in school. I'd rather hang out with friends, practice ninjutsu, and play my games.		2009-09-30 00:27:00

In my opinion, schools are necessary because, while not everyone will be a nuclear physicist, they need a way to get the people who will actually do something to actually know stuff so it can be done.

Which calls to mind my Heart vs. Need topic of not spending billions of dollars on kids who won't do anything just because of "heart" but focusing on the people who actually can do something- but that's another subject.

Yes, you may not need it, but society would fall VERY quickly if no one knew how to peform life saving surgery or all that.		2009-09-30 00:38:00

School is an important factor in life. If you hadn't of gone to school for the last 10 years how much would you know? How many friends would you have not met? School is 6 hours a day here in England. 42 hours a week. If I hadn't gone to school I wouldn't know half my friends, I wouldn't know half the stuff I know now and quite frankly I think my life would be wasted.2009-09-30 00:55:00

Don't we all?

Grade school is a lot of things... I know there's plenty there you might not feel you'd need in life, especially stuff like calculus, but it does something important: It gauges your ability to take a new system, comprehend how it works, and apply it to new situations dynamically. On cue. This is extremely important for everything in life, the problems happen in school where they do not focus on understanding the underlying systems but instead regurgitating formulas and whatnot.

The other part is the social factors. Yes, you meet people in school. If you sat home all day long how would you ever meet those friends to hang out with in the first place? Not to mention it gives you a sense of duty.

Though beyond grade school I'd say the importance of college, etc. is grossly exaggerated. It's basically drilled into your head that you MUST go to college. Now, college does help but if a person's career path is going fine without college, then you can hardly criticize them for it. It's all hard work all the same, college is a means to an end.		2009-09-30 01:19:00

It's necessary, but it should be FUN. When classes engaged the students, and it was interesting for them, schools get better ST grades. It's a proven fact!		2009-09-30 02:26:00

YES.
I hate being bored, and I maily rely on friends and good moments at school to keep me satisfied. And I also know society would plumit, but that's only because of other stupid things in the world to complain about :l

Oh, and did you hear that Obama plans to make school longer? I'm not sure how this one will land, but I doubt it will. Obama hasn't done much yet, however, and I'm really hoping this doesn't get put into effect. I think school should be shorter >.<		2009-09-30 16:32:00

School. Is. Broken.

It's as simple as that. I don't know how it is in other schools, or other countries, but the system in place at my school fails, for me at least. Teachers can't control students, students can't control themselves, the syllabus is awful, the teaching style of most of the teachers is rock bottom, the disciplinary system is flawed to its core...and more.

It may be because I'm (yes I'll say it) an above-average student (IQ 160+), but I have always felt that my education runs at about 5% what it should (in primary school, before I was bumped up a year, I spent 35 minutes out of every 45 minute lesson sitting in the corner doing something like reading/computer/nothing because I'd finished while everyone else sat working in silence. I still do that in some subjects, like maths, where you're left to do a long set of questions.

So yeah. School sucks.		2009-09-30 17:14:00

Well if they weren't teaching algebra in schools then this site, the computer you view it on, the computer that hosts it, the cabling that transmits the information, the game that is the focus of the site, the game system that you play said game upon *takes breath* wouldn't exist. You owe algebra more than you know

Plus algebra is pretty much the only form of maths that is taught these days where mental arithmetic is encouraged. That is a very very useful real world skill, even if you don't realise you are learning it.

@dawes, school isn't completely broken and yours does seem to have a particularly bad scenario RE: control of pupils. But on the subject of essentially being bored in class: there is only so much that can be done for exceptional pupils without removing them completely from the mainstream classes. I literally did no studying between year 9 and 11, yet still got the highest GCSE grades in my year, I then went on to A-levels and spent most of my days stoned out of my face, and was off school for 2 months with gladnular fever and still got great grades. I totally understand why that aspect makes it seem pointless, and I sympathise, but there is little alternative IMO		2009-09-30 17:39:00

You'll realise when you move onto college that school is really important... you're just programmed to hate it kind of xD

You're taught a load of subjects up to a certain age because you can never be sure how you're interests will change, and you want to be sure that you're prepared enough in each subject when you're finally given the choice of what you want to specialize in.

You can't just decide at 10 years old that you want to be an athlete and only study PE from that moment forward. How many people have ambitions similar to that and lose interest in sports a few years later?
And that way we'd just have 80% of the population being athletes because that's a common ambition when you're really young (in my area at least).

I'm not saying there aren't massive problems with the system, but the aspects that most people rant about probably couldn't work any other way 		2009-09-30 17:58:00

Education is essential. There are important things you learn at school, beyond the actual class material, that would be much more difficult to learn on your own.

This being said, public schools should offer a better quality of education. From what I've heard about public schools in the US and Canada, the level of education is abysmal, which is mostly IMO due to political meddling. 		2009-09-30 17:59:00

Education varies wildly throughout local jurisidictions... in my schools, or at least when I went, they offered several tiers of the courses to accommodate people properly whether they were advanced or the opposite. There was never a mainstream curriculum aside from standardized/statewide tests that everyone had to take to g t the official "regents" credit to be able to graduate.

ie, you had credits for all the classes you needed, and on top of that you needed the regents for each course.


Standardization across all boards of education sucks big time. Expect more of this if the current administration finds time to meddle in it further.		2009-09-30 18:07:00

If you don't learn stuff that you 'don't need' then you're funelling yourself into a tiny choice of future.

Now I'm in College I'm having fun in all my lessons because I know what I like for certain now. If I'd gone to year 7 thinking that I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and so only chose a certain amount of topics I'd have such a wrong understanding of what each subject was.

In sciences and maths particularly you realize that a lot of what you were taught before is essential to moving up and understanding more; its not what the subject is like for the rest of potential school years.

If I hadn't chosen physics earlier on in our imaginary choice set it'd probably be because I thought it was just rolling balls down a slope. Since I've gone through x more years than that I've found out about atoms, particle acceleration and all sorts more and realize how cool it is.


Also about stripping your life away; you just roll around in the mud unable to read and write and with no way to earn a living and lets see how much of a life you find that to be 		2009-09-30 18:15:00

I think that schools (high schools) focus too much on math, science, and English and not enough on other topics. Not everyone is going to be a mathematician or a scientist or Shakespeare. There are far too many professions these days to keep generalizing everything. High school should prepare us for college, but for someone who wants to major in music, that's not happening.

I'm lucky to go to a small school, I guess. Oh, I got the highest grade of my class in Algebra 2. Yeah, I know, I'm awesome. 		2009-09-30 20:31:00

I hate one thing only: math.

I mean, what do we need things like "5y + 2? = blabla" for?
it's just BS.
Well if blabla is equivalent to say 19 then y would equal 3.

It's quite simply, really.

A few weeks in to school and this is an example of a problem we had to do for homework (I'm a Senior in what is called College Pre-Calc fyi):

Simplify: 2[c-3(c+4)-7(3c-1)]
Looks hard doesn't it? Well it's actually very easy.
All you have to do, is simply distribute.
2[c-3(c+4)-7(3c-1)] would turn in to 2[c-3c-12-21c+7] which would then turn in to 2[23c-5] which would theeeen turn in to -46c - 10 which is your answer.

And that's it. Easy right?

I hate science though, took that for 2 years and said "enough, I'm out". But Math is no problem. I've gotten a 100 on every quiz and test we've taken so far, although we've only had 1 quiz and 1 test (I am 1 of only 5 people to get a 100 on the test though ).		2009-10-01 05:09:00

Education is important to everyone.

It's just the way they teach it that makes everyone hate school.

Just fly to Egypt for a day and you'd probably learn far more than you would from reading a whole text book!

Instead of writing how the human body works why not actually demonstrate it out in the field?

I think you may have actually helped to prove his point there. His point was why do we need to know that? The example you gave, though not necessarily complicated, serves no real purpose other than to be a math problem. However, as some people have said before, math translates over into a programming career very well. None of the games we play would have been made if all of these programmers sat back and threw paper planes in Algebra I.

We actually did things like that in my high school Muscle Fitness class. First, we would learn the information from a book, then we would apply it, showing the limits of muscle spindles as controlled by proprioceptors through exercise and why an eccentric contraction required more effort to complete. It was one of my favorite high school classes though. 		2009-10-01 11:20:00

As for math, science, and the such, would probably make more sense to students if they explained how it can be incorporated into real life situations.		2009-10-01 11:33:00

For maths you can't really demonstrate most of it; that's for other subjects to do. The point of maths is that you use it in other subjects; think of it as if you can suddenly know what a cube is, you're happy with a cube and can do lots of things with it if you know its size and mass etc.

In physics you're given lots of stuff which is given in sheets, you can't do much with a sheet but you know lots about cubes from maths so you make the sheets into a cube and bingo, you now know what you wanted.

So while a maths problem may seem like just a problem at first you'll find that you can then apply it to loads of stuff; like when I'm making a phone in DT if I want to find out what dimensions a section should be to weigh a certain amount I can do about 6 or so equations to find anything I want to know about dimensions be it triangles, squares etc. I can then apply another equation concerning dispersion of mass to find the density and then bam, I can design my phone perfectly.

You need to focus on maths, english and sciences (biology is a bit meh) because that stuff spills over into all other subjects (even art needs some writing).		2009-10-01 16:36:00

I'd take it a step further and make a plane out of it and than proceed with practically figuring the angle, hight and velocity to hit my classmate on the other side of the room.

I don't see how you could not notice how it's interwoven...

If you are using numeracy skills in DT, you must realise that it's linked to maths. When you are writing in history, does it not occur that your literacy skills are linked to you *insert native language* lessons.

Although, if you are not consciously aware of it at the time, then that means they are probably doing their job right - the skills you learn become so natural that transferring them to different applications doesn't seem like anything. You wouldn't have been taught well if you sit in DT going, "now there's numbers here, I wonder which of my other subjects will help me do something with this?" 		2009-10-01 16:57:00

Yes I get that, I was just explaining how Math is much easier then it seems. All you have to do is think and not flip out over a weird looking problem.

Most math you wont have to do something like that in real life, but stuff like SAT math which is much more logical will help you in real life to think out many types of situations better.		2009-10-01 18:43:00

I think in my area there's a serious problem with maths teachers.

In highschool i went 2 entire years being taught nothing in maths, the only time the teacher taught us anything is when other teachers were brought into the lesson to see if he was doing his job.
My entire class had to learn 2 years of maths as homework right before the exams started.

I'm doing maths in college now, apparently a lot of other people had the same problem :/		2009-10-01 19:21:00

School. Is. Broken.

It's as simple as that. I don't know how it is in other schools, or other countries, but the system in place at my school fails, for me at least. Teachers can't control students, students can't control themselves, the syllabus is awful, the teaching style of most of the teachers is rock bottom, the disciplinary system is flawed to its core...and more.

It may be because I'm (yes I'll say it) an above-average student (IQ 160+), but I have always felt that my education runs at about 5% what it should (in primary school, before I was bumped up a year, I spent 35 minutes out of every 45 minute lesson sitting in the corner doing something like reading/computer/nothing because I'd finished while everyone else sat working in silence. I still do that in some subjects, like maths, where you're left to do a long set of questions.

So yeah. School sucks.

Same with my school - about 75% of the students are complete idiots, don't pay attention to anything, smoke/drink under the legal age, and are completely careless about everything they do. And I also have a high IQ, and finish my homework quickly, usually while the teacher is doing her job teaching the other students that never pay attention and most likely won't even do homework. Then I sit in class for another half an hour, bored, and sometimes even helping other students.


Similar issues I have with "current events" type classes... they end up teaching opinions instead of facts, indoctrinating the students into one set of beliefs... no thanks.

This is also true in my school. My English teacher says that it's ok to kill animals if they're near your house, which she does very often and then burns them. Just the thought of this LITERALLY makes my eyes water. I can't imagine how anyone could do such a thing to poor little chipmunks D: My math teacher is an anti-socialist who has no friends and acts like a dork, and my study hall teachers don't know how to control the students at all. My French, science, web design, and history teachers are all great though, and honestly at my school's open house, my science teacher made my mom cry, and then she started to cry herself, because I was her "savior", compared to most other students. My history teacher uses just about the same logic as I do, so I feel very comfortable in his class. And my French teacher is just really nice and funny, plus I have it first period, so it's a good way to wake me up in the morning and start my day. My art teacher is a bit of an anti-socialist too, and likes things her way - quiet, calm, and respected.

Anyway, because of the friends and good teachers at my school, it's not that bad. It is a little too long though... I mean, 7 hours, plus a 35 minute bus drive, five days a week... It's just really annoying. School is like a forceful jerk that sucks us in by law.		2009-10-02 16:43:00

You need math everywhere, everyday, even if you don't realize it.

Especially when you get older and need to handle bills and such. For example, say you're grocery shopping and you buy a gallon of milk and 5 lbs of meat.

Now you remember that you paid $13 and that the milk was $3 but forgot how much the meat was, and you want to figure out how much the meat is worth per pound in order to compare it to other stores.

Let's say a lb of meat is Q (because I like Q)

5Q + 3 = 13

5Q = 10

Q = 2

So now you know, and if you see a cheaper per pound deal you'll go for it. The uses are infinite.		2009-10-03 15:03:00

Yeah, it's funny. Everyone seems to think it's so incredibly amazing, but all the students hate it.		2009-10-03 19:42:00

I would've never said this if I were still in school, but now that I've been out for almost a decade, I wish I would have done better, paid more attention in class, etc, etc. You might not realize it now, but later in life you'll see how important school was - trust me.2009-10-03 19:45:00

I totally agree with this. I'm in college now, and I did pretty good in school, but everything does come back around, and in the end, I wish I had done more to be actively involved in my high school education. 		2009-10-03 21:03:00

School is important but it's also such a drag. Remember "Picture Day"? 2009-10-03 21:26:00

School is fun when I'm actually LEARNING things. I hate school only because everything I almost already know. Even though I've been put in 5th grade math (I'm in 4th grade) I've only learned 1 thing this year so far, how to find the circumference of a circle.2009-10-03 23:16:00

I used to have recurring nightmares related to my regrets about high school.

Be cool, stay in school.		2009-10-03 23:36:00

School does help you a lot, teachers are just far to bland and, well, annoying! xD

Wake me up when school has teachers like mrs frizzle from magic school bus 		2009-10-04 14:46:00

As much as i used to hate school, i now don't mind it!

The only thing i dont see the point of is some of the things in maths! During my time at academy, i've learn about things i'm never likely to use...and its extremely boring!But then again this year its my own fault as i could of dropped maths!
But then again i find History & modern studies exciting, and I'm in my last few years of academy(i could of left last year) and i find that its banter, as everyones more relaxed!		2009-10-05 16:04:00

I'm home-schooled, so I suspect my opinion of school will vary from others. I enjoy school for the most part, though I worry that I'm not being pushed hard enough. Perhaps I should let my instructor know.2009-10-05 23:00:00

Wow that brings me back!

Seriously, do your best in school. You'll be glad you did. And honestly, maybe this isn't true for some schools, but I know I could've done MUCH better if I put forth a little more effort in my homework and studies, and a little less effort into girls :blush:

A friend of mine and I used to joke around about how much money we could've saved if we wouldn't have dated anyone until we met the right person (the person we're married to now!). I think I figured out that I would have saved myself well over $5000. Somewhere around there.

Just take the advice from those of us that have been through it! Do your best and forget the rest! - Tony Horton 		2009-10-05 23:17:00
