School -> why do we need it?

[Icy Soul]

School is to stall the kids and teach them basics, we don't need to know geometry, but we have it to stall us.

Cuz the adults don't want to see 14 year olds making more money and being more sucessfull than the adults. Otherwise I could probably go straight to dentistry school without worrying about the rest of high school and the years of college.

School is one way a person can gain knowledge. And quite simply, knowledge is power. It makes you stronger in life. Helps you make better choices and stay alive longer.

Yeah, I've learnt more outside of school than inside.

Usually depends on which school you go at. I don't understand when parents tell us to enjoy being a kid (or teenager). We can't really enjoy being young with school in the way.

I was always wandering what would i do all day long if I didn't have school

The I in "I'm" is supposed to be capitalized.

And he is entirely correct, in Australia anyway. The teachers here are horrid. They're idiots who think they're better than everyone else (except the other teachers). A teachers word is the word of god compared to a student. I've gotten kicked out of a class and had my whole life in jeopardy just because some teacher didn't like me. He decided to make up a story how I started breaking school property and that I was refusing orders and disrupting the lesson. All I really did was sit in my seat, put my hand up and I said "Sir, when could I get my exam results back". And lets not forget the fact that someone's intelligence is irrelavant in determining their grades.

Its because when you graduate from high school you either go to university or colledge. When you think about it youll say so what i can go to school a year before i work and learn what is needed. Well you could but it would be like a doctor learning how to make medicinne without knowong what to use, and couldnt do math or spell.I dont know man we're all screwd lol
