not just gaining more knowledge or making more firends... but what else? i get to spend lesser time with my family, get to learn how to use bad words and also become a better person. i learnt that i will have to be responsible and i will have to adjust myself to become someone everyone likes.. i will not be able to be myself. so...what did you learn in school?

School is like a little preview of the life we're going to live eventually. And school I think may be a crucial part of your life because it helps you interact with people and events. It helped me grow some confidence when talking with people because I'm never a talker - always a listener.

Apart from the obvious academic stuffs, schools provide an environment in which students can learn social skills, independance and even leadership. Of course what you learn in school really comes down to what you do at school, whether it is during class, at break or even after school at the various extramural activities.

First,we go to school to get knowledge about many different things and learn how get along with around of our people or things .there is no question about it.but we also learn many literary garbage from it.perhaps society's infection made us for it or we are just be seasoned with society. No matter what. the school is reluctant to leave .just yearn towards one day .
