Topic : Schools are no longer necessary, because children can get so much information available through Internet, and they can study just as well at home. What extent do you agree or disagree? | |

Schools held a massive share in one's entire life. Despite exception cases, all of us spend our lives at school from 8 to 19 minimum. As the average life expectancy in Korea is around 70, we spend roughly more than 1/7 of our lives in school. The main purpose for schooling is to learn the academic assets for our future careers. However, some argue that schools are no longer necessary, because internet offers corresponding information that could be learn at schools. On my point of view is however, totally against the assertion for several reasons.
Firstly, children can learn more than just an academic knowledge from schools. Humans are social animal. People need other people to run the modern society, Some under others' subordinates and some as others' superior. Not only academic knowledges, but schools teach this social skills as well, which is very important part of our lives. Sadly, internet can not teach this skill.
Secondly, schools sometimes offer students a shelter from this cold-blooded world. We are living in the ever technologically advanced world. A research shows that 90 percents of students spend their leisure time in front of TV or PC or other electronic devices in Korea. This concept of school gives students a chance to spend their time with warm-blooded people and encourages people to behave themselves as humans not just bunch of robots.
In conclusion, there always is a side effect for schools such as bullying, division of winner groups and loser groups and so. In worst cases, losers turn into a psycho killer, the best example can be the case of a loser became a serial killer in Columbia University in US. However, overall, as humans are social animal children need to learn the social skills for their future. It makes easier those children grow old enough to adapt themselves into the society and therefore, I believe schools are necessary no matter how the world has been changed. | |
