Essay #394 "School Education" 15.02.19
Education is one of the most crucial parts of people’s lives and that is why many parents believe that it
should could be improved in order to ensure the future lives of their children. Despite the fact that in many cases this is true and our education system is not perfect, many people think that
a the stronger inclination towards practical skills would be highly beneficial for pupils. In my opinion, this is
faulty thinking a faulty thought and this would only have a negative effect on their academic knowledge.
The main purpose of school education is not to prepare professionally skilled workers, but to provide children with the basis for further education. People
need to just should understand that in many cases school is the first step in a long term education and that is why this education should be as broad as possible. Only by creating
the basis with a foundation of academic knowledge will it be possible for children to succeed in their further education.
Another point is that teaching children about home managements and other things is the responsibility of their parents. They should not shift all the responsibility of the education of their children
to on schools and heavily participate in this, especially at first steps. That is why when parents believe that their children are lacking some kind of education or skills they should solve this issue by themselves.
Finally, by concentrating on these skills children would have fewer
less opportunities in their future lives as this would provide them with more narrow job choices. In most cases practical skills are more important for professions with lower salaries
. ,Wwhereas academic education would allow children to get much better jobs with more opportunities to grow and develop.
To conclude, in spite of the fact that every parent wants their children to succeed, sometimes they
can be mistaken come to a quite faulty thought about how this can be achieved.
The prevalence of Prioritizing practical skill over academic knowledge is one
such mistake of them. Parents should understand that the main goal of school education is to provide children with the basis for further development and education, rather than creating professional workers.
