Why Go to School


Why Go to School?
School is one of the first social situations that you go to outside your family．Your attitudes are deeply shaped by the type of education you receive,by the personalities of your school and its teachers,and by the suitability of the education for your career objectives．Although your first responses to your early educational environment were probably influenced by the attitudes of your family and friends,your later responses to life itself will be greatly affected by how and where you were educated．
Both you and your school are responsible for your education；it is a two-way street．Many people today argue that today's educational system does not meet the needs of its students．If this is true,then the entire system of our education must be examined and reorganized．If the statement is false,then it is the responsibility of the educational system to make people believe the system is a good one．No educational system,however,can do a good job for you,the student,unless you yourself make contribution to the educational process．
The main objective of a school should be to teach you to think for yourself,to find your own value,and to develop your potential．School is not a place where you simply learn the ideas of other people or the knowledge written in books．
In school,you must always ask yourself questions like these：Whose values am I learning?Where do the teachers' ideas come from?Is everything introduced in the teaching materials right and appropriate for me?
The best school is not the one that forces you,the student,to fit it,but the one that tries its best to fit you．So does your school fit your interests and your needs? Why Go to School
