year 9 was rather pointless, all it was was revision, but now im in year 10 i've started learning again. sure, some of it i won't need in later life, but some of it is needed tbh.

I hate it when people say in math say "Why do we need this, there's something called the calculator". We learn stuff without calculators because we are trying to prevent the dumbing of society. Its already happening actually. Technology is progressing faster than intelligence, which is dangerous. People are becoming so dependent on it, which is actually making everyone stupid. Imagine if cell phones one night were all of a sudden taken away. Everyone would go insane and not know what to do. But 20 years ago, there was no such thing as a cell phone and people got by fine. We're going backwards.
Anyway, yeah, you learn tons of useless stuff in school. But the reason for that is litterally, to expand your brain. The years when your brain develops are key. If you dont use certain parts of your brain when it develops, you'll never be able to use it. So it may seem pointless and youll never use it, but it actually does help you in other areas.
lol, sorry part in bold made me laugh.School is amazing! I love it! I love learning new things everyday and the fact that no one day is ever the same. On your own life can be routine, predicatable. Your family will always be the same or you will know their moods but in school it's like 1900 other people who you don't know so well interacting. It's the ultimate big brother.. without cameras... I hope.
I personaly love school Mrs.McCall basicly summed up why lol, but also you can be anyone you like when you are in school. plus you meet lots of cool people.
Year 1 was the best
Having those little dot to dot alphabet things and just colouring in etc.
well im in yr 8 set 1, we have to do 2 languages (french & italian) as were set 1. I have to say this years work is alot more challenging than last years. Seriously how can you say schools pointless? Hey everyday of my school life I say I hate school but I have to go and at the end of the day I enjoy it. There is a few people who spoil it for the rest but I just get on with what im supposed to be doing. As some people have previously said about the watching the videos on the last day, lucky you we had half - term exams, which I failed my english one surprise surprise seeing my English teacher has some what thing against me and ignores me everytime i seek or help or advice. Anyway, just enjoy school yeh some lesson may be a bit plain but yeh thats life.
school is not at all pointless. but i know what you mean about the last days of term where you watch videos etc, but its only one day. tbh, we only have them twice, before we break up for christmas and end of year. yeah but anyways, im one of them geeks who actually likes school.
Im not saying have a last day fun, why dont we just work and then instead of having them fun days have the vacation on that day on the day before do work. So you dont get fun days instead have more days of :]
But I suppose i would say this as i dont atchually like school that much so yeh ^^
Most days seem pointless but in the long run, school really isn't pointless at all.
I remember one day during winter when I was at school it was really smowy and icy but the school wasn't closed for the day. Only about 100 people attended out of around 1,000 students. We still had to stay. We weren't allowed home. Our lessons were made up of nothing all day because there weren't enough students to have a proper lesson. THAT was pointless. :p
Good Point
But im saying i would rather be at school for a shotern days and not have ANY Fun days. And be able to go home a day early than have a boring fun day where everyone has .... to do![]()
