Hw# 46 - Researching and Writing

I did the research instead of reading the books since my book didn't have much to do with my topic of study that I saw, maybe it did but I just didn't see it.

The main argument of the my research paper was that school isn't teaching any of the useful things that we need to learn in life, the simple things. Maybe we should just find an interest and study that topic for life, that way the things we're learning become useful to us. There are a lot of basic things that we believe we should learn in school(our schools does teach some of these but not enough). We are learning some of this in our social studies class, and looking into it more deeply so that we can understand the people around us. School doesn't teach us enough about finance, social skills, etc. When we live on our own, that's what school doesn't teach us any of that. After high school most of us will be probably living away from home, in a dorm, anyways if we don't learn to spent our money correctly we'll have a lot of debts, which we probably don't want. Learning to budget your money shows responsibility, showing that your capable of doing things on your own without having someone to look over you. You won't always have people helping you in the future so you'll have to be independent sometimes. Being able to talk to others is important, not judging but respect people for who they are, there may be many people you don't like in this world but you have to think about what you'll have to give up when you do something wrong. Show respect to others and politely,try not to make a first bad impression. Managing time, don't do everything last minute because things tend to change when your working they expect you to have things all ready and not a minute late. Have things ready instead of later because that way you'll have more time to spare.


This relates to my topic since I'm looking at what school should teach us so that we know how to live a life on our own. We should have a bit of marketing skills, and how to live on our own, managing the house and things we need at home. Most of the stuff that schools don't teach appears in games or the digital world, it's like they expect us to look into the digital world using the time we have at home, to waste more time at home learning more useless things. The important things, they expect us to learn in a different place. Why do we have to continue learning? We've spent about 15 years in school learning already and now we have to spent another 4-8 years in college, it's a waste of time. We've not even learning anything since most of the things in our head are like water they just flow out of us, these things aren't like fire, they don't burn to the core unless it's experience from what I've seen. I feel like if we're going to learn something, we should learn something more important, I mean people use to work at a very young age so why can't we. Why can't we just learn what we have to and go to work? Learning everything else, is that to prove anything? Wanting to have knowledge to be better than anyone else? So what if you're better, what can you do? There's always someone who will beat you, and you'll know how it feel like to waste all that time trying to win.

Why do we even go to school when everything we need to learn is all at home and the library? Why can't our dreams be apart of your learning, as in each night we dream about something and experience things that teaches us a lesson so that way we aren't wasting time. A dream is like a really experience, everything seems so real until you wake up from it all but then we might be just escaping it by waking up. The mains that schools don't teach us are in the digital world but in that world there are many strangers but even so, on the first day on school, everyone is a stranger. Don't want computers? There are books and other possible ways to make things fall in the same place. Kids can learn form books and watching t.v. They even have math adventures and reading ones that teach kids how to read and write, etc. They are always finding ways to help kids learn more and giving them an interest in what they want to do.
