@Total,
Responsibility: If you are not responsible, you get bad grades. Most kids want to get good grades so they learn to be more responsible. When you break a school rule, you face the consequences. You don't play the "He/She did it" game. You don't just magically become more responsible.
Its actually whether if your responsible enough to want to work to get good grades or not. Most people are not responsible, and they don't do the work.
What about the first year of school? The first day...You had no previous experience in school, and haven't been "thought" responsibility yet. Don't you still do your work? I'd actually say this is the time when productivity is the most!
So it is the opposite, as you grow up, whether its directly the schools fault or not, most lose responsibility.
Social Skills: Schools definitely teach you social skills but this is actually when you are very young. They do this so when you are older, it is easier to work in groups. The schools put you in a safe environment to interact with others. You learn how to talk to one another and not do anything harmful. Your parents can't just take you to a park and throw you at another kid to talk to.
Well it is not school that teaches you, but rather just talking...
Is there no talkative kids before school? Surely yes!
Schools job is not to make kids more social, it is to teach them things. This job is for kindergarten...
Time Management: This is a very important skill you will need when you are older. Time is not easy to manage, especially when you are a kid. Schools force you to manage time so you can pass. The homework and projects teach you that sometimes you have to stop doing some things to get others done. When you are older, you can't just sit back and not go to work or not do anything at work. You have to manage your time to keep your job.
Time Management is the most basic logic ever! Again, your not thought time management. It is very simple thing that people teach themselves. If you want to say that people are thought this only through experience...well school is one of the MANY things in life that encounter managing time.
If I'm very hungry right now, I'm going to eat...
If I have basketball practice at 6 pm, then I am going to dress a little before it...
Managing time is all about knowing the importance of things, and which you feel is best to do at first, second, third...
And theres plenty of people like me who get the job done at the LAST second
Knowledge Of course, schools teach you knowledge. You use it every single day. You may think most of the stuff you learn in school is pointless but it really isn't. Weird math problems are for a couple reasons. The main reason you may need it is because it opens your mind to complex problem solving. Taking each problem step by step to solve it. Hm, I wonder how you could use that in real life...
This is what I have a problem with. They teach pointless things no one cares about and forgets the next year. Even so, as long as you got an A in that class, it doesn't matter!
Grades don't really even matter up to high school. This is all about knowing that you need to pass school in order to get to college and know that even if the things are pointless, you gotta get that A anyway.
