Does school prepare students for real life???

Question

Tell me if school does prepare students for real life...plz...thx

Answer 1

no school gives you what is IDEAL. work gives you what is REAL.

Answer 2

There are not enough hours of school to prepare you for real life. School is in fact just a stepping stone to learning about real life. That responsibility should come from mostly parents teaching you and your own life experience.

Learn from your mistakes, Live in the Present, Remember you can not change the past (so do not dwell about it), and can not see the future(so do not try and predict it), so live in the present (and live moment for moment). Do this and you will be more prepared for real life then you know.

Answer 3

Good morning

I think School prepares you for real life.

It is definitely a Social Event. From Pre-School to College, you are learning to relate to people, and different situations.

Book Smarts will get you the degree...and Social Skills will help you deal with the Street Smarts.

Have a Good Day.

Answer 4

Unfortunately no. Very few have "skills for living" progams .
This is partly due to teachers coming from school to college to university and back to teaching without obtaining any real life working experience.
This is also partly due an educationalist attitude that their responsibilities stop at the school gates !
There needs to be joint curriculum design between employers social workers and academics to bridge the gap.
My own son is a prime example . He passed all his exams all the way to university, yet he is an idiot when it comes to real life subjects or commion sense.

Answer 5

Depends where. In North America and Britain definitely not. I don't think I learned one useful thing other than to be an obedient cog. The only thing school teaches us is to sit down and shut up while someone woffles the official version of the curriculum instead of teaching useful subjects that would benefit people. University was better, though. The brightest students start teaching themselves meaningful arts and sciences and will further them through higher education.

Answer 6

Yes, in many ways.

All those years of English and Honors English classes have given me the skills to effectively write the stories that're seen in my husband's and my homebrew games (and has opened up the career opportunity for me to be a quest or plot designer in large companies, if I so chose to do so). I have also acted as editor for a published book.

I use Geometry every time I create a 3d model, and Algebra every time I program my game. (My husband also uses a small amount of Trigonometry, in addition to Algebra and Geometry, in his Quality Control job).

I use general science, and chemistry, when I cook dinner and tend to my garden. I also use my basic knowledge of genetics and biology when breeding my tropical fish.

I spend a good number of years taking music classes in school, as well as being a member of the state's honor orchestra... and have plans to one day, get up to speed again on my viola, and join the state's Philharmonic Orchestra.

Learning about history and political science helps me to understand the politics and laws of today, and my voice is heard and has an impact, politically, in ways outside of voting.

I took two years of drafting, and the skills I've learned help me to be an accomplished artist.

I also took a year of German, and have kept up with it, and so there is no language barrier there for me anymore.

And, as a housewife, as much as I hate to admit it... home ec really was a worthwhile class.

The only things I've learned in school, that have done me little good in the real world were my Audio/Video class (I never had intents on going into acting, television, or anything similiar... But one of my sons does, and so I will pass on my knowledge to him), Woodshop (I don't have all the tools to make anything useful, but I can carve little wooden statuettes), and Metalshop (I don't have any metal-working tools at all... however, if I did, I'd probably be doing that instead of gardening).

Answer 7

NO, college does not prepare me for actual existence. i'm a Secondary 4 student. i might choose to declare that even the matters presented to me are irrelevant to what i choose to be once I advance up. matters liek social analyze should not be examined in national examination like "O" ranges yet could settle for as undertaking artwork to pupils. pupils could learn the purpose of analyzing the concern presented to them and how it rather is going to be irrelevant interior the interest industry.

Answer 8

It gives you the basics. You use that knowledge in the day to day experiences. You have to use your wits to make good choices. Your primary education is the source of your wits. Good Luck to you in real Life

Answer 9

yes they do,school system is like a stepping stone for you in the wild world out that.You will learn socialising,problem and thinking skills in school.As a bonus, you might meet true friends that can help you in the future.Who knows You could also meet your like partner(optional)

Answer 10

DEPENDS ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. MOTHERS AND FATHERS ARE THE BEST TEACHERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAN THE SCHOOLS ARE. YOU'LL TEACH THE CHILD YOUR MORALS, YOUR EXPERIENCES,ETC. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE IT. DON'T DEPEND ON THE SCHOOLS TO DO THE PARENTING. THE CHILD WILL LOSE EVERYTIME.

Answer 11

No. It gives you "book smart" knowledge but not real world/street smart knowledge.
