Why School is not worth for Children nowadays | School's Myths |

School Picture


Although school is a first step towards an individual's goal, but there are still so many flaws in our present education system.

When we step in school, the very first thing we are taught is the alphabets. When we move further on, we come to know about Physics, Chemistry, Social Science, etc. Children learn about Carbon, Hydrogen, s-block, Trigonometry. But will these things be any of use for THEMSELVES? Children have got ample of time in their life to learn about these stuffs in college or even in high school.

Children are needed to be taught about many other things which will be going to be important in their life.

Some of the very important things which are useful in our daily life which I am going to discuss with you is not being taught up in school and that is the reason why many grown up people have a tough time in their life.

This article is especially for Indian parent.

I would like to recommend every Indian parent that they should always help their children in developing well social skills, confidence and about how to interact with people, etc.

First, let know what school teaches:

1. How to score good grades:

School can and will only teach children about how to get decent marks in exams which is the reason why children have lost their creative mind. Good grades may be useful for getting in some good universities or colleges. 

Rarely any children study to acquire deep knowledge about any particular field. Students nowadays cram up things written in a book a day before exams.

2. Importance of grades:

They say grades will give you a decent job with high payoff. They rarely mention about the importance of hardwork and ambition.

This is the reason why depression is common in students. Even the most hardworking student may score the least in exam, and the least hardworking can score the most. 

3. Book's knowledge:

School focus mostly on completing the syllabus, they lack their willpower to teach and children do not get what they are being taught in class.

Following are the things which are most neglected in school

  • About financial skill
  • Dealing with conversation
  • Time Management
  • Coping up with failure
  • Career 

Most of the parent may think that the above mentioned points are of no use for children, but honestly saying, these above points are the most neglected in our society and due to this, even grown up face several problems in their life. So it will be better if you make them aware about it.

Described these points in a brief description, making you easier to get it.

1. About financial skill:

  • No one wants to fell in debt-trap, at the same time, no one wanted to teach about it. Many children after growing up into adult face a terrible debt trap. 
  • The reason why debt-trap is common to new adults is that nobody is there to teach about it.  
  • Financial skill is very important, and the basic should be teach to children.

2. Dealing with conversation:

  • The reason for why even rankers in competitive exams fails in interview is that they didn't got a good communication skill from their childhood.
  • The reason for why grown up children face difficulty in speaking is the same.
  • Most of the shy children are the result of not knowing how to start conversation, and they face problems too in their adult life.

3. Time management:

  • School going children often become confuse with time management, they cannot cope up with the increasing homework and play time.
  • It also cause great impact in their adult life because they don't know when and where to put time in and schedules.
  • Children cannot learn time management by their own, they have to have a proper guide too.

4. Coping up with failure:

  • School never teach children about how to cope up with failure, instead most of them mock at them which make them demotivate with their life.
  • Failure is the main root of why many children suicide at young age.
  • We should make them realise that failure is just a part of a game while life itself is a game and should not be taken very seriously.

5. Career:

  • So far children are studying for the sake of better career, better life ahead. But most of the school prioritize over doctor or engineer as a career.
  • Doctor and engineer are not only left in our country, this is what we should make them realise. 
  • Most of the student pick wrong track due to this and cried miserably after knowing that they cannot do it passionately.
Thank You
