Benefits of School

3-20-2011

           Nowadays, most children from all over the world go to school. Even though many students do not want to go to school, the school actually benefits them in many ways. Schools not only educate, but they also make and teach social and implant one’s way of thinking.

           Schools educate students about various topics. Mostly, they teach kids about life. Students get to learn dangers, knowledge, and future of life. By learning Social Studies, Science, Ethics, PE(Health), or even Language Art, they learn to live without mistaking like our ancestors. For instance, students can sit under the table during earthquake. This action is one of the basics that schools teach. Schools also teach many different subjects. For example, they learn math that ables them to count numbers, and do the math. These concepts are highly simple yet important when living life. There are times when we need to count perhaps money. Than we know how much a person has or if someone stole one’s money.

           Secondly, schools naturally make little society. We humans live in the world that is very far, but also very close. At school, students can experience how it feels like to be part of a society. They learn how to make friends, how to keep friends, how to act in public…… Etc. At home, a child might learn how to be polite, but s/he loses a great opportunity to be part of society. In an environment like school, students eventually feel they need friends in order to keep their reputation or even just to have fun. When a student is left behind, s/he feels like one’s an outcast and gets depressed easily. Thus, most students are able to be social by making friends whether by instinct or conscious.

           Lastly, school implants view of the world to students. One of the best ways to live independently is to have a clear world of one’s own. Many young kids are dependent to their parents because they yet don’t have their own clear perspective. At school, they are educated by various subjects like Social Studies and Math. These subjects build fundamental ideas into students. They extend those ideas with their own point of view, just like what they did at school, when they were doing homework and writing down an essay.

           As one can see, many students can benefit from school from various subjects.
