I'm serious - what's so good about school? i dont understand why there is such a culture which glorifies school as this necessary path to determine one's future.

sure, you CAN learn stuff... but the stuff you learn aren't[isn't] actually all that useful. And teachers aren't really that smart (at least not in 50%+ of schools). Seriously, i used to have a math teacher who dropped math in high school.

recently i graduated. i've "learned" a lot... most of which don't[doesn't or does not] enhance my perception of things, are[is] politically motivated, and can be more concisely and broadly explored through the internet or self-learning etc. <<<----- The structure of this sentence is horrible

what do you guys think?

Ok, no offense here, but your paragraph is a great example of why we need school. Some things, like capitalizing the I in I'm, is trivial since this is just a forum, but the rest of the grammar mistakes you made are quite obvious. Using aren't instead of isn't is a completely horrid speech error.

hmm. youve got a point, but still. school is a place where u can learn stuff and it will help u become what u want to be in your future life. but you may ask, what if i want to be a video game tester? surely school doesnt help me.
well, people who hire people for jobs tend to look at how much education u have gone through. so even if it doesnt seem like a good idea, even if u want to be a video game tester u can get a degree in like graphics or animation and thigns like that or something.

If we didn't have schools children would be put straight into the work force. They wouldn't get pleasnat jobs either. That's the way it was in history and that's what happens in the countries where school isn't mandatory. So you can look at it as saving you 12 years of back breaking labour. Sitting in a desk doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

school is important.it is the place where you can make new friends and also enemies,make good memories and torture yourself.

The idea of school is good. I think the original is just critisizing the fact that alot of it is wasted time due to poor teachers and a lack of usefulness in some circumstances. I doubt anyone could say the education system is perfect...
