What's the point of school?

School is for learning and preparation. Throughout life you are always learning. School helps with this process. Is there a loss when you learn about the reproduction of plants or DNA replication? Sure you may learn useless stuff but it's not because the molders of public education randomly threw topics into a schedule. Learning diverse topics provides a greater range of knowledge which increases intellect in general. It prepares for the further learning throughout life. There is a reason it progresses in difficulty as you age. School is not all academics. It provides responsibility; it helps one mature. If it was strictly educational, it could be done online in solitary. School provides chances at social affairs. It also provides opportunities at sports. School is not a penitentiary. If you wish, you may drop out. You are in Advanced Placement cles. I ume you have high goals or attempt to achieve for your parents. Either way, school has set you goals. You are not drifting about ignorantly School provides hands-on experiences. You never truly learn something unless it is experienced firsthand. An example is drama. You never learn to deal with drama until you are actually faced with it. If you find learning in school boring, do not focus greatly on it. Lighten up. Find new friends, activities, maybe even a new romance. Or instead of finding others, find yourself. Find who you are; find what you love. I have probably gotten carried away and I am sorry about that. I am not trying to argue with you. I am simply attempting to add new insight to your current views.
