What school is for? It's not a secret, that practically all children in the world go to school. But what do they do it for? There may be dozens of answers to this question. First of all, practically every child goes to school every day, except weekends, to acquire general knowledge and to develop academically, physically and artistically, it's simple. But schools can be used not only just for getting basic education, they have lots and lots of other purposes. For example, students go to school to prepare for a job by learning the skills they need for it. Schoolwork is also a good trainer for discipline, order and memory. And I think that one of the most important reasons of going to school is that it helps to find what a student is really interested in and it teaches how to develop his strengths and overcome his weaknesses. At school children learn how to communicate with others by meeting other young people and having a good time with them. By the way, some schools often organize different class trips, that give children very useful opportunities. For example, in class trips students learn how to communicate with each other, they learn lots of interesting things about the world and they have a chance to become independent of their parents and to prepare for adult life.
