What is the point of school? :/
You can't criticize school in general, there are millions of schools in the world and their perceptions vary a lot. Personally I find school really helpful because it organizes information and learning paths in an ordered and practical curriculum. Also, learning together and comparing performance with others boost my motivation. It's of course challenging to deal with subjects I dislike, but that actually guides me to become a balanced person.

I agree school is very important cuz u gotta go to college and get a good job with good pay, unless ur like a genius or wanna work at mcdonald
School sucks that’s why u gotta focus on the positives like having all ur peers around and friends and being young and also u still can believe u have a positive future bc u havnt messed ur life up yet
One point of school is to find to truly smart kids and track them into competitive colleges, which will lead them into highly skilled and high paying jobs. Doctors, lawyers, high end stockbrokers, etc.
The other point of school is to prepare the other 99% of students for the drudgery and mind-numbing boredom that they will find in their day to day non high paying office jobs. Originally school was supposed to prepare people for the repetitive drudgery of factory work, but these jobs are now mostly in developing countries, so not the case anymore in the US of A.
I feel like it does more harm than good tbh
Like, I feel somewhat more stressed out and depressed from school. Everyday, I see people screaming 67 and pmo. The learning system is also mid. When am I ever going to need to need to bring up a complex math formula, or say something about Egypt or whatever? Not like I'm becoming a scientist. As for the social status, its beyond awful. Sure, you get to socialize and make 'friends', but when you find out they're fake, its just painful. Why do you ban phones instead of brainrot? As the name suggests, brainrot can actually rot your brain. That goes against learning, and just degrades your brain. Why do you need to ban phones? If the teacher doesn't see theyre on their phones, they're just blind. They can just take away their phone and give it back at the end of class of whatever. They might need to address urgent situations on their phones or whatever.
Google just kinda defeats school. Need to know something? GOogle. Yes, you do need to learn words and how to navigate through Google, but your parents can just teach you some words and teach you to navigate. Its just simple words, you're not looking up complex searches with complex words.
Overall, my experience in school has just been AWFUL. My mental health as degraded so much these past years in school. Seeing my friends trying out to be fake friends, hearing dumb brainrot being screamed out, and blind teachers who target the victims and not the bullies.
I think building schools are just a huge waste of money, but there's already like thousands of schools, and teachers, so we cant just go back now or millions of people will lose their jobs, so yeah :/
Also, homeschool and virtual learning exists, and are so much better. I've never been homeschooled but virtual learning was awesome. You learn for like 2-3 hours, and its mostly stuff you can benefit from.
I don't really see the needs of going to school, and I don't really see many pros of school.
I think it's just a waste of time since you have school for 180 days learning for 7 hours a day, and only having like 180 other days in free time, but you have homework so yeah :/
