Why is school so important?

School is important because it helps you to learn how to be a good person. There is an essay that was written in 1985 called All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. It is a wonderful essay about the life lessons we learn in school. The link to it is below. Please read it, and I think you will find out that school DOES teach you more than what you think it does. By the way, the one thing no one can ever take away from you is your education (my grandmother told me that), the more you learn and the more you know, the wiser you will be as you grow up.

Yes. School isn't always boring, unless every action you make is controlled. Your friends are what makes school more exciting. Even some  of the teachers will try to make the assignment a little more fun. Many think school is a jail, but it's a place of education. With an education, you can most likely succeed in your future if you try hard enough.\n\nPeople whine about hating school, but others would kill for an education.\n\nSorry if I strayed off the subject a little.

I am a school kid, and i DO like school. The studying itself is not the most interesting thing ever, but the friends there and the great times spent with friends are worth going into school...

1) Because there are better things for us to do in life than learn monotonous subjects in which we have no particular interest.\nIf we could specialize at a younger age, we would be spending time doing what we wanted as opposed to being "well-rounded" people.\n2) Schools these days are focusing more and more on the nagative aspects of student behaviour rather than the positive side of student learning: therefore we are suffering oppression because of the way we dress and act, yet are not rewarded for schievements in education, which is the primary purpose of school anyway.\n3) Peer pressure.

Homework is an essential tool to re-inforce what you are learning in class.  Some teachers overdo it, as if they are the only teacher you have, but that doesn't negate the need for homework.\n\nHomework also gives you an opportunity to learn and hone study skills which you will need in H.S. and college.\n\nHomework also helps to instill a good work ethic which will serve you well your entire life...provided you take advantage of it.

Homework allegedly proves your knowledge, discpline, and dedication, all of which are important if you want to do well in school.  And when you think about it, you can't really blame the teachers because it's more work for them too...someone's gotta grade all that junk.

The only reason to study is to learn, to pass your classes, and to obtain a degree. \n\nThe only reasons to do this include improving your mind, understanding the world, preparing for a job/career, striving to meet goals that you set for yourself, hoping to make the world a better place.\n\nMost students get confused when they ask the question "why study?" as if studying is something that someone "makes" them do. Nobody makes you study; studying is important only as it helps you meet the goals that are important to the individual. \n\nOf course, in general, an educated populace is also a benefit to society and the world as well as to the educated individuals.

No, what is important is increasing your knowledge, learning new things from books, life, and relationships with all people you meet.  It is important to be nice to people and treat them the way that you would want to be treated.  Good luck to you!

School isn't more difficult, but today's students lead more complex lives, therefore life in general is more difficult.  Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, but the paradox is that it complicates our lives because we keep trying to complete more tasks in less time.  After 20 years of teaching high school English, I can report that I see students steadily regressing in reading comprehension and writing skills, yet I see them increasing in technology competency.

it is important.  But what about it?

Here's your argument for your debate:  Homework serves a valuable purpose in education.  Not only does it allow students to practice what was taught in class, thereby solidifying concepts, but most importantly it teaches responsibility.  Best given as a few target exercises rather than pages and pages of mindless drill, homework is a way of teaching students responsibility when the teacher is not there to "make them learn".  As a teacher, I often tell parents of the non-doers that I really don't care if they complete the homework or not- however, try telling the bank you "forgot" or "didn't have time" or "didn't understand" your car payment (/utility bill/cable bill/rent/etc.) and see how well that flies.  Kids and parents understand when I put it that way. No questions are asked when you don't send in your car payment- they just take away your vehicle.

Their education surpasses ours, can graduate high school at 15/16 years of age because of it.  It is of primary importance to them, where we sometimes lack this.

Education is so important I'm willing to pay property taxes for you to go to school.\n\nIn most countries, parents have to pay for their children to attend any school at all!

Education is important for everyone.  It broadens the mind and gives one a more balanced world view.  It contributes to an informed world, a more tolerant, kinder, more understanding world.  Most wars happen because of ignornance and misunderstanding and lack of tolerance.  \n\nEducation is also likely to contribute to an easier, less pressured way of life since it is more likely that an educated person will have a job that permits a relatively carefree life style.  Education leads to independence and increased feelings of self worth and positive self image.\n\nMany females in today's world find themselves raising children, either through choice or mischance, without moral or financial support from the father of the children.  Education helps them both morally and financially, and also allows them to present a better role model for their children.\n\nGetting an education is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
