why do school train kids to work for someone else instead of self business owner mentally?

Answer 1

good one dude - get that idea out there - that's what we needed to learn in school instead of having to take crap jobs.

Answer 2

I hear public education beaten up frequently for the lack of imparting entrepreneurial skills to students. In fact, they tend to teach skills that are more suitable for those that intend to be employed by others. But, is public education the bad guy here?

The fact is that in generations past, fathers have successfully transferred their skills to the next generation via apprenticeship. The son would work along side his father until he required the prerequisite skills for the operation of the family business. Thus, his financial Independence was virtually guaranteed.

Now, the modern dads send their kids off to school with no thought of the consequences of a life of future subjugation.
Worse yet, many dads are not even home to send the tykes off to school. Flog public education if you must, but until fathers start training their offspring we are churning out a nation of sheep.

Theoretically, education aims at teaching children and adolescents to think for themselves (to an extent), research and to share a space with other humans with respect. All the subjects they are taught are to allow them to experience different skills and abilities needed to succeed in certain endeavours.
There are very few submissive students in schools now-a-days, and only the ones that are taught to care by their parents actually learn to obey the rules set out in a school. Most question authority, rules and teachings because they can see it did not do their parents any good. These are the ones that think 'outside the square' and try very hard to 'beat the system': eg: Bill Gates.
Unfortunately, some schools segregate students by forming leaders and followers, much like they do in the Army, especially the private ones. These leader-material children are taught to work as hard as they possibly can to achieve their goals, and most worked so hard to get to where they are (lawyers, doctors, politicians, etc.) that they feel they are 'owed' something for all their hard work, making them the greedy faction in our society (generalising, of course!).
But, in fact, schools are just a medium to find ones strengths and weaknesses. Schools do not create business owners nor employees, politicians nor criminals; they show the individual the paths they can choose to take. Each individual makes up their own mind about what they do with the education they've received.
In fact, parents have more power in determining what their children do with their schooling. A child from a professional family might be given every opportunity to become a professional just like his/her parents, but he/she might choose to take any road because he/she has seen how much time his/her parents spend working and neglecting their children, and they want to be 'better' parents than their own. Another child from the other spectrum might see how hard his/her parents have worked just to provide the mininum meals required to sustain life and decide they want to become professionals to avoid repeating their parents' mistake.
In conclusion, mentalities are not 'taught' but learned from life in general. Being picked on, getting straight A's, becoming captain of the football team, or being the most popular girl at school all carry with them their own unique baggage. Their home, parents, siblings, love-life, religion, economical position and star sign all make up more important mantality-enhancing effects than school.
Teach a child the important VALUES in life and the rest won't matter: LOVE, RESPECT, EQUALITY, EMPATHY & BALANCE are the main ones I try to impart when I teach.

School is a place to acquire knowledge. Maybe some teachers, maybe just yours, kept preaching you gotta be good in maths if you're gonna get that highly paid accountant job!

I don't recall any of teachers saying this... we all had our own ambition, so when you hear a child says he wants to be a doctor, he's not saying "I'll be applying to work as a surgeon in a general hospital coz the government sends us to school and wants us to become good doctors to serve the community..."

When he grows, it's up to him whether or not he wants to open up his own clinic.

Answer 5

Our educational system was set up during the Industrial Age and the majority of the students will eventually have to work for someone else.

Answer 6

If they taught with a self business mentality, you'd end up with too many chiefs and not enough indians. It's the basic law of supply and demand.

Answer 7

1st, I don't think they do. However, they probably should. Working for yourself is risky. Most businesses fail. Most people aren't cut out to be their own boss - and the ones that are, don't need to be taught.

Answer 8

Schools teach student's abilities they want to acquire which is useful to get a job or to have their own job.

Answer 9

if there was more business owner then worker where would we get workers?

Answer 10

Go teach!
