Does we go to school for studies?

No!I think I go to school for knowledge! If you study hard,you will get so much knowledge! And it will work in the future! Just do it!

I think the idea of school was so that we could study and learn about the world around us. I'm not really sure how getting grades and all that stuff came to play, but it was probably also a way of motivating students to actually learn. Now, it really does seem like school is all about getting good grades and a high GPA. That shouldn't be the reason behind school. We should be going to school in order to become more educated and not just for marks.

I used to go to school to get good marks..but things changed in uni, as I have to go to the library mostly daily to do so many search to understand what we are learning to practice it in real life... I admit it is very crazy procedure but we got no choice but to study to be well knowledgeable..studying helps us in communicating well with others.. a part of that, i go to uni to meet my friends, flirt with them and so many crazy girly things, yet, we have to be serious in classes though !!!

First of all, congrats on ur 200th post. Yup, u r right. We go for good marks only, as far as going to be taught by teachers is concerned. But, the atmosphere, the students and the teachers` remarks give us a direction for learning by self. In fact, everybody learns by himself/herself and no teacher or an education system can make him/her do so if he/she doesn`t wish to. Happy Mylotting!!

Hello, nitish_ausumn, I guess of course we go to school for studies. But as marks are developed by school the important way to judge students whether or not working good on their subjects, and it related to what kind of school/university they are going to. So lots of students working hard on getting good marks rather than studies. I do agree it's waisting time to pursuing good marks only...

Hi there. Educational institutes are set up for us to learn. To learn how to study and work with our fellow classmates and sometimes marks are just indicators on how well we have adopted this learning criteria. It is also the same with work. When we're working, we are learning and acquiring new skills so in life, we are always learning til the day we die.
