The purpose of school is to prepare students for the real world. They do this by either getting them ready to work a job, or overall giving them the discipline in order to learn how to work on their own. Without school, kids wouldn’t know how to live in the real world properly.
Certain schools tend to focus on teaching kids how to work, which is essential to living in the real world. Some schools are beginning to notice that when they prioritize teaching kids how to work, they’re able to make a living for themselves way easier than other students who weren’t taught all of this. Schools also teach efficient ways to get a job which is why students are so successful in finding one.
Some people believe that school isn’t to prepare the new generations how to work for the real world, they instead think that it just works on the character of people in order to make sure that the generation that they are educating is filled with good people. While this is a decent argument, I don’t agree with it. This isn’t true for me because although the school does kind of work on people’s morals, they very obviously are focusing on making sure that people know how to work and make money. Money is everything in this world, and the education system recognizes that.
In conclusion, the purpose of education is to prepare the new generations for living in the real world. Although people may think that the only purpose of education is to make sure that everyone is a good person, that is obviously not the case.
