Modifying The Educational System

In my essay, I explained how unnecessary school has become. Education is important to keep everything in society running smoothly. Our country would be even more chaotic then it already is without education; but I do believe that the educational system needs some modifications. The way that the educational system is currently set up, it does not allow students individual options, more specifically ones that offer opportunities that will benefit them throughout their lives. It is quite silly to make children generation after generation take the same classes that they most likely are not going to use during their daily lives.

However, Ms. Chick, the algebra 2 teacher made an interesting argument yesterday that I could not deny. She said that although it is true that majority of the things that we learn in school is irrelevant, there will always be that one time when you actually have to use the material that you learn. I would rather learn material that I am going to use nine times out of ten rather than material I am only going to use minimally throughout my life. Also I think that it is highly important for kids to be able to learn in a comfortable environment, and the way that schools are structured now are completely the opposite. Many people think that it takes money to efficiently run schools, and there is a lot of truth in that but one thing that I do not think is true, is that money is the sole factor for the sustainability of a school.

In conclusion, more options should be available to students, this would make them more ficus and interested, causing the dropout rate to decrease and to make sure that their future's are secured.
