Why Do We Need To Go To School?

Good morning, class! Today, I am here to tutor you because your professor can not attend the class.

Continuing the last dialogue, today's topic is the supporting reasons about why we really need to go to school. In this meeting, I will cover some points, which are the things that schools offer us and the pro and contra about home schooling and internet-schooling.

Well class, what do you think about life when we relate it with school? Yes, right. Life is bored, especially schools. Can you imagine life without any homework, assignments, and exams? Look at the clock. The needles move so slowly and we're stuck in this class with these things.

However, let's move on to the discussion. We all know that in our daily life, we have a relationship with a thing called school. What do you think about school? Yes. A school is a place where there are many teachers and students gather around to make a community and learn together. Not only that, school gives us many things. Can you figure out something that the school offers to us? Yes. Just take a good example. Like our own school. In this school, we can meet foreign teachers and have a different experience than the students from the national schools. Do you know another definition about school? If not I will tell you straight away. A school is a place that becomes the tools to transfer the subjects like the curriculum council told the school to give to students, take students through an educational program that is academically precise, demanding, challenging and exciting and teach us to have critical thinking too.

O yeah, not only in the academic things, but a school also teaches us about how to expand our behavior. The first step that they teach us is discipline, where we should be able to come to school and any class on time, obey the rules that make us bore, and be polite to surround us.

Are there any other things that the school offers to us? Of course, there are many things more. Just for example, it gives us freedom to choose our pathway according to our ability and our desires. It also offers us good facilities like laboratories, high standard of computers, library, and of course canteen for our stomach business. Furthermore, we can not forget about the highly experienced subject specialists, such as the teachers and staffs, also the cleaning service, security that supports our activities.

Also, although it is not one of the main things that the school offers to us, but we should not be forgotten that because of school we get much more friends to share our life with. Well, actually when our parents tell us to stay at home and do the home schooling stuffs, our faces aren't that happy enough. Do you know why? It is because they will miss their schoolmates, even their best friends if they have one. And by the way, about home schooling, we will discuss it in the other section. Continuing with the school, since a school is a place where we spend 60% or more our time in a week, it is a good tool to increase our social life. Just think of the fact that if we only get home schooling from our parents, we won't have a new friend at all. Well, maybe we can meet a new friend from our vacations, right? However, although we find a new friend in a vacation, we won't meet them as often as we meet our schoolmates.

The second thing that I like to discuss with you is about other types of schools. Can you mention kinds of schools? Yes. Two of them are home schooling and internet schooling which are very popular to parent's ears.

First is about the internet schooling. This style of schooling will request more creativity from the students, think more critical, on the contrary they will have more fun and enjoy it better than regular schooling, because they can arise their own way of thinking. Those are the positive side of this school. But, can you mention the negative effects? Right! Today's kids are having good or even very good relationship with internet, so besides doing school activities, they can play some online games, trivia even open the porn webs, right? However, the curriculum is good enough you know. Any question until here? < They will have standard examination that will relate to the Scholastic Achievement Test (SAT)> Move on. Class, do you know the reasons why some parents want their children to do home schooling rather than regular schooling? Yes. Parents protect and prevent their kids from many bad behaviors in the regular schooling by giving them an opportunity to take part in home schooling program. Quickly, the advantages are parents can develop their child-centered curriculum; parents can investigate online resources to discover what is available on any given topic in which their child expresses an interest, and so on. More, the disadvantages are the internet needs to be approached with some degree of caution and the most important one is the children are unhappy because of missing friends.

Well, that's all for today. We have discussed 2 reasons why we really need to go to school. And I conclude that people still need to go to school rather than only do internet and home schooling. Why? Because a school offers us more than just knowledge like I just said before. It provides us with many facilities that we can not get from internet and home schooling. Let me give an example, a Papua boy called Septinus George Saa, had won a competition called First Step to Nobel Prize in Physics because of his research from the internet. However, he goes to school too in his daily life, instead of doing some internet schooling activities.

Finally, although school makes us bore, we still need to go to school
