boo school.

I think that a reason that we go to school is to learn things that the immediate people around us do not know. The other main reason is to gain new ideas and insight into issues that happen in everyday life. We need to learn to talk to other people and learn how to express our ideas so that others can comprehend it. We also need to learn how to receive new thoughts and perspectives and process them to be able to reject, accept or incorporate them into our own ideas, values and way of life.
We can find these things in other places, but it takes a person who wants to learn to find it. If everyone would go out and seek the information and knowledge they needed, school would not be mandatory. But, people do not do this. All people are not driven to find answers to questions they do not know. Because of this, we need school to make people learn.
I don’t think it should be abolished or anything, but I think that a school that taught all basic skills and taught everything it already does should be offered. A place where people can go to seek that information they needed, but not be mandatory. That way, people who are driven could go as much as they wanted and those who are not driven could go as little as possible. Now that I think about it, that’s a good way to continue natural selection. But, on the other hand, then there aren’t un-driven people to flip our burgers. BUT if there weren’t un-driven people, then flipping burgers would no longer be a remedial job.
HA. I think I just won.
