Hw 39

1. Why do people go to school when they know what to do when they grow up? Shouldn't they just put them in an environment where they learn the requirements for that job (maybe after elementary school)?

2. Schools are suppose to teach children, so why do some school do better then others? Is it because the teachers don't care? If a school is better then another, doesn't that make the lesser school obsolete?

3. Why are we learning things that will not help us in the future, especially when we are just going to forget how to use it? Wouldn't it be a waste of valuable time learning things we won't need when we could be learning how to deal with certain situations?

4. School could be a means to babysit us while our parents are away.

5. School help train kids to do things for themselves.

6. Schools are design to help us in the world

7. There's lots of diversity in school.

8. Teachers aren't as enthusiastic about their job as you would hope.

9. School have different rules and policies.

I feel like school is an imitation of life with safety nets i.e. teachers and other adults. What you do in school is observed by teachers who obviously lived as an adult. They train students to become adults. We sit and listen in class because more people will become a white collar. If we do anything inappropriate then the teachers are there to help us better ourselves. This is how I believe school is treating us. School is teaching us that for better or for worse, your able to come out the other side fine if you know what to do and how to approach it. Either that or they are teaching us to babysit and look good. We learn things in high school that we don't really need. I don't even think the teachers believe the lessons they teach are of any use. We're hear because we are at the point where we are done learning all the basic stuff from elementary school but too young to start our lives. Our minds too simple to have the status of adulthood.


What ever the reason is, one thing is for sure and it is that we are trained. We are trained to write, to speck, walk, dress, eat, the way people around us do. We are trained to act "civil," every single one of us children because we can't think for ourselves at all. We are the future, a bunch are people trained to act like people, "normal" people. If we don't act accordingly, we are put away so there's no confusion to how we are suppose to act. If we speck our minds, normals label them as blasphemy. They train us to the core, now we feel, think, act, react accordingly to the people around us. We see, we do.
