Do you think schools are doing enough to help prepare students for work and the outside world?

Answer 1

Being a Year 10 (going up to Year 11) student, i think schools are doing enough to prepare me for work and the outside world. This summer, i've been on work experience. I had 2 weeks of work: one in the Body Shop, and one in the local hospital. I gained so much from it, and now i'm absolutely sure of what i want to do when i'm older: I want to train as a doctor, and then go and work as a missionary doctor in developing countries.
Of course, not all people are like me, and i think some people just saw work experience as a time when you're not in school, therefore can just mess about completely. Lots of people i know didn't take anything from their work experience, and came out the same as they went in.
We have Enterprise Days at school, and groups of people come in, for example, the Ministry of Defence, and people from local businesses. On one such day, we made our own companies in groups, and we were taught all about advertising, financial problems, etc. I think schools do enough for me, but do they for others?

Answer 2

School education is given to all the children to prepare them to have an average knowledge on all the subjects. Once they specialise in certain subjects, ofcourse they can be employed by a person who can further utilise the services after necessary training.

But a student should not expect that, the employment training has to be given in the student ship itself. After learning the speciality, he will easily undertake/under go the required training.

Before taking up a job s/he has to fulfill all the parameters of the
job requirement. From there the success story starts.......

Answer 3

Em maybe too much, I think they give students false hopes, growing up I thought it'd be easy to get a job and since I was doing so much to prepare in school there must be plenty of jobs out there but when I started college I realise that it'll be difficult to get my dream job...

Answer 4

Education is not about work and the outside world. Look up teach or teacher in the dictionary. It will say to share knowledge.

Answer 5

No they are not. When I left school I had almost no knowledge on taxes. There was not enough economics in home economics, and there was not any lessons on pub ettiquette. Social education had an unrealistic simulation of interviews, techniques and everything else associated with real life. I am just dissapointed with the way my forced education actually failed me, and how much I failed myself.

Answer 6

i think school is the only place where child found itself and it help to generate the thinking power to each and every child which consist a knowldge of life and other things insist in this worrld . Its my personal opinoin that schools have very much significant in the related field which has been asked in thie question

Answer 7

no, I believe that its a real culture shock to students when they leave the schol and get into the real world. They get away with to much in schools so when they go to work they have a big shock to the system having all this discipline to deal with.

Answer 8

To me thats mainly down to the parents. My daughter leaves home for Uni in four weeks and I know she is ready, I have prepared her.
