In some ways but not as much as it says it does.
Sitting in classrooms all day, switching topics constantly, having to ask permission to go to the bathroom, being constantly told what to do and having little chance to exercise initiative, having different teachers throughout the day in junior high and high school and more are not reflective of real life.
To really prepare for real life, you need to have the education that some form of schooling provides but you need to be out in the real world. Volunteering or having part-time jobs or just somehow interacting with others in the community is much more of a preparation for future adult life than school is.

NO, school does not prepare me for real life. I am a Secondary 4 student. I would like to say that even the subjects offered to me are irrelevant to what i want to be when i grow up. Subjects liek social studies should not be tested in national exam like "O" levels but should be given as project work to students. Students should be told the purpose of studying the subject offered to them and how it should be irrelevant in the job industry.

I feel much more prepared for "real life" since I've been at college. Not only has it forced me to think a certain way, but even more importantly, it has given me life skills such as time management and the ability to balance my social life with my work life.

It does in basic skills of reading, writing, basic maths, understanding and thinking. Problem is when ppl forget these aims after you are too long in the system. That's why we have schools for doctors cos u wont want sb who did not go to school or learn formally under a teacher to treat you. You want sb who is learned. Otherwise you would get anybody to do it at lowest cost or you do it yourself.

Sure it does. It provides you with basic knowledge of things like the sciences,and math which you use in everyday life, and school also suppose to train you to do independent thinking, drawing from what you have learned, and applying it to new concepts.

There are no longer adequate hours of faculty to coach you for real existence. college is in certainty in basic terms a stepping stone to studying approximately real existence. That accountability might desire to come from often mom and father coaching you and your guy or woman existence journey. learn out of your blunders, stay in the present, undergo in thoughts you may no longer substitute the previous (so do no longer stay approximately it), and would possibly no longer see the destiny(so do no longer attempt and assume it), so stay in the present (and stay 2d for 2d). try this and you'd be greater arranged for real existence then you definately comprehend.
