I was wondering what do you think about school , you know, most of the people out there don't want to go to school because they think it's a waste of time. I think that some subjects are useful for me, and some aren't , that's why I think that I shouln't be forced to learn some subjects that won't help me , and have subjects that do help me (like informathics) just 1 time in a week! What do you think about school?

Hi. Im a bit on the fence about this issue. I do think sometimes that some of the subjects at school is really unnecessary especially with the topics that we wont use later in life or with the profession that we're going to pursue. But its also nice to know at least the basics of everything like the jack of all trades - master of none kind of deal until we figure out what we really want to do with the rest of our lives. Until then school keeps us bsuy and actually makes us more ready for anythign that we want to pursue. What I really dont like about it is the constant pressure to know things at a period of time just so we could pass our exams and then forget about it right after. I feel like school should be a learning experience and not a grading experience and someitmes the grading systema re so whacked that most students feel happy passing with just the cut off grade.
I think that after we learn how to read and speak really well. The other subjects and things are just 'fillers' until the main act(real life after school;the goal or the things that we want to do with our life). Life itself is a learning experience and I dont think we need any books to know or learn things that life itself ahs taught us.
