Are our Schooling makes us strong enough to face the society?

Question

We learn a lot in our schools ( subjects) but it is only the academic sense and we are intrested only to earn Grades and Percenatge marks etc.
But it is our practical experence that prepares us to face the society and lead a healthy life but by the time we laern fron experience it is too late in life.
Why can't the schools be more practical and make its pupils earn some general knowledge for life and some common sense,

Answer 1

I agree. Except for basic reading and arithmetic, the only really useful things I learned in school were either electives or stuff I learned outside of class. I was a whiz kid genius but in the process of scheduling me into all the advanced classes, I got one meant for the "slower" kids. It was called Consumer Buying and it taught how to comparison shop using unit prices, Consumer Reports magazine, interest rate information, etc. If it hadn't been for this one class, I would never have seen any of this in school.

I know a lot of people think that it's the parents' responsibility to teach kids how to make a budget or fill out a job application and it is the parents' responsibility. I don't think that that should mean that there isn't any responsibility in the schools. If we are really going to take "No child left behind" at all seriously, we need to look at what will help kids succeed in life. It does no good to produce a graduate who is brilliant in physics if she can't complete the financial aid forms to go to college.

It is even worse for those who are academically challenged. We seem to have lost sight of the fact that not every high school graduate needs or wants to go to college. I knew a man who was retarded but owned his own cleaning business. He did well at it and only needed to have help with payroll and accounting when the business expanded. Now that we are more aware of people's capabilities and have more ways of assisting people with all disabilities, we ought to be finding more success stories like that. Instead, mostly I see people permanently stuck in the mailroom. But hey, it worked on L. A. Law, right?

On the upside, schools here require community service and many students learn common sense and the value of hard work through these experiences.

i watched some thin on TV, saying that our school system was made up for the 1950's, what nothings changed since then, common folks, my son is going to the 6th grade, they have 12 weeks of foreign language, art, gym. 1st, don't know bout you, but i don't see a whole lot of french people coming to America trying to make a life here(Spanish is not an option) and second, when i went to school art and gym were regular classes, and they want to know why are kids are getting fat, well duh, i so agree with you, i don't think the schools prepare our kids for the real world. read and write, do a bit of math, and get out of here is how i see them treating our future, and some cant even do that. i don't blame the kids, it starts at the top/. mother of 4 boys, 11 to 21, think i know a lil bit

Answer 3

i understand what you mean.
I know at my school ( HS to be exact)
there was a huge academic competition between students and friends.
teachers noticed this and some have started to complain that kids care more about grades and less about learning.
there was actually a cheating bust that almost jepardized the rep of the school, I know because it was a private HS.

I think its just too much pressure put on kids to be WRS ( Well rounded Student). But of course that comes in the sense of being super academic.

in college its not much diffrent, kids acutally seem to care less about grades but more about having fun, not really learning about life ( I cannot tell you about he amout of college graduates that go straight to grad school because they dont know what else to do in the real world).
