Pros and cons of school

[Blockaium]

Pro: My friends are there (Also enemies, and this other kids who are slightly less than normal)

Con: HOMEWORK. Doing stuff in school is one thing, but at home? During our personal free time? Pretty sure they're trying to get us distracted. They should just extend shool by an hour if they're gonna give homework.

list your pros and or cons

Con: HOMEWORK.

EDIT: I should probably mention that I think school is amazing, but the curriculum can be a bit wonky at times and the only valid reason I dislike homework right now is because it cuts into my free time, but not nearly as much as a job or studying would.

Pro:
-Good chances of making friends above any other random encounters. You eventually end up making friends even if you don't want to.
-You are given education for either free, or a small price.
-You basically have a daily exercise routine of walking to and inside the school.
-Feel better about yourself in regard to accomplishments, be it a grade or a smirk from a teacher.
-You have a chance of excellence and rewards in certain circumstances.
-Opens gates to a wider variety of jobs you can spend your whole life on. (Better chances of getting hired at McDonalds)

Cons:
-Enforced on a educational ideology that is ensured to dissatisfy you and teach you useless things for a daily life.
-Enforced on labor for classes you have physically no interest in.
-If you are simply not good at something but try your best, there is no reward for that, a fail is and will remain a fail during your school life and you will have a pain in classes you are simply not good at.
-There is a high chance that there is a number of nagging teachers that give an impression of a warden.
-Homework is in most cases not optional. Homework is meant to recap the work done in class so you can remember and perform better - if you consider you already know how to do things, and feel prepared for a test, you will still be punished for not doing homework, same case if you did not know how to do the homework.
-"You will need this information in life."
-Most schools do not allow custom routines for literature, you are enforced to read books you don't want anything to do with. I do not mind reading books - that I like. In the past 3 years I have not read one book at school that got me really interested in it.
-Medical staff is a joke in most cases, same as for guarding. In many cases, you should not have a sense of security within the school borders or even outside of them.
-Just like you can make friends, you can make enemies, very easily, and in every school unless it's a private one there will be someone who just wants to ruin everyone's wellbeing and he is NOT getting expelled. We have entire classes like that.
-Exams are basically a paper that decides your future. You fail, you fail in life (in most cases). You succeed, you may still fail in life (in most cases).
-Unless you have a school with lockers, securing belongings is a trash. There are a huge amount of instances where certain of my things were "missing" and I am not the only one in my class.

I bet your still in elementary, if you treat your teachers with respect and call them sir then maybe they won't act like starfishs to you and will be more lenient if you forget your books or homework.

I always treat my teachers with respect and so should you.

Ok in my situation I gave my teachers all the respect in the world and they would still treat me like stuff BECAUSE of mob mentality. In a viewers perspective the teachers have to deal with all these stuff heads breakin the rules and doing all kinds of crap to make their job hell. So because of this they like to group everyone into the same category. Ungrateful students who don't respect anything. This is what I saw happening in my school atleast when I went there. Might not have been the same for you but I was at least 3 of my in class teachers favorites, but it was the teachers I didn't have classes with that would do this.

Pros: The video game drought will be over at the same time school starts
Cons: I won't have any money when school starts

[Zanaran2]

Pros:
You learn actual stuff to keep you from flipping burgers or painting faces at Six Flags for minimum wage (unless you go to art school)
You can meet awesome people.
Some teachers are total coolbros (my 7th grade SS teacher played chess and I lost but I almost got him into a checkmate and my ELA teacher sounds chill by default but he doesn't show it much cause my class was full of forgetIN' IDIOTS)
Some schools have advanced classes that are harder but reward greatly with highschool credit

Cons:
Homework is mandatory. Even if you're one of those people who barely do any work but get 100s on every test (like me) you'll still get a low grade by not doing it.
The medical staff is loving terrible
The security is loving terrible
The lunch is loving terrible (I strictly get peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if they are available (which they sometimes aren't)
Some schools (like mine) have the worst, most degenerate people on the face of the planet. Kids who still think Flappy Bird is relevant, swagcigarettes, wiggers, whores, Heathers, Chads, all of them.
You can have a class crammed full of handicaps who talk in class and piss off the teachers on purpose to drive them insane.

Zanaran, welcome to the American public school system, where the saying goes:

"No one is left behind! Seriously, loving graduate highschool so we can look smarter, or we'll actually force you to graduate even if you have straight F's!"

[McJobless]

This is from an Australian persp, from what I've heard school life is a lot worse in American schools:

Pros

• Basic education is absolutely important to our survival
• Social skills and the ability to network and get friends due to "forced" interaction
• Schoolyard "drama" can make for good experience, and be entertaining to tell as a story in future
• Certain teachers are incredible and can act as proper mentors
• Serves as a good introduction to the vast amounts of information and media available to all of us
• Can give kids motivations and reasons to want to excel

Cons (and things I really really wish I could one day properly address)

• School never actually teaches students the importance of social grace, respect, tolerance or why they should contribute to society
• The overall "boring" nature of school, due to the means of communicating information not equal to how humans actually learn and process information (study how games teach patterns)
• No ability for students to get better/Single Attempt Assessments causing a lot of students to "not care"
• Numerical/Letter Scores cause ridiculous amounts of stress and potentially harmful levels of competitiveness
• Students have very little say or choice in their own education path/Compulsory classes which do not interest or help the majority of students
• Teacher superiority complex, meaning many will never actually listen to valid student arguments
• Ridiculously high standards in regards to non-important details, such as uniform, attendance (if a student doesn't turn up, it's their own fault and they will suffer the consequences anyway), language etc
• Most school therapists, IT support and admin officials are supposedly bad at their job(s), either not caring or have not been proper trained

I had a proper list somewhere (had to do one for a speech I did), but it's been lost in my files.

Honestly: Those kids who seem to be starfishs? They don't care because they grow up thinking they shouldn't care, because they'll never achieve anything in comparison to the kids scoring the highest. They try to instead justify this by making it "cool" to not pay attention, make funnies and possibly even bully people. Really, they're actually doing a good job in demonstrating why education currently sucks: It's not interesting to the majority.
