The bell rings, it’s eight-forty am, where are you? Or where are you meant to be? Young people are at school for six hours each day for five days in a week. To most students, ‘going to school’ is referred to being a time filler for our lives. But are our lessons at school worthwhile? Is Maths used later in life other than school? Yes it is important for students to understand what we learn in class at school is worthwhile for our future.
At the age of sixteen and seventeen we suddenly realise that we are being ruled by people; people who we need in our daily lives. Doctors, lawyers, dentists, engineers, teachers and many more are the significant people who rule us. You must obey to what they tell you to do. Without them living would be much harder and more of a disaster because obeying doctors may save your life, obeying lawyers may get you out of serious cases, obeying dentists may make your painful tooth pain free, obeying to engineers may save your expensive car or house/building and obeying teachers will lead you to having a higher quality, successful job. People with such professions have all excelled in school to become successful and helpful to our society, our world. This shows that school is worthwhile because if you try hard, taking each lesson seriously, then you are capable and most likely to become someone who could help others with their lives.
Most students wonder why studying Algebra at school is worthwhile and will help you with your future. I surveyed twenty students asking the question, “Do you think Algebra is important for your life later on in the future?” Six out of twenty said Algebra is important and fourteen said Algebra isn’t. But do you know when you will use Algebra? You will use Algebra for decision making in your life, prerequisite for advanced training, science, data entry, interest rates and most relevant in school and writing of assignments. Your day can be made a lot easier with planning when you are making financial problems/decisions Algebra can help you save a large amount of finances and get you the best available price. Using the knowledge and algebraic skills you learn from school will benefit your own life.
Inventors, new inventions, Albert Einstein did well in school, Thomas Edison put effort into his education and what did they achieve? They achieved great things by inventing brilliant inventions that we need in our daily lives. Both inventors excelled in school and set their own personal goals at a young age. But imagine if they didn’t attend school. Where would we put our milk or cheese if Albert Einstein didn’t learn at school to invent the refrigerator? Would we have had light bulbs as early as the nineteenth century? School was very important for Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, many more inventors and nowadays school is important for us. You never know, out of the unexpected you can come out of school to become a famous inventor and invent very useful things that can help make people’s lives easier.
Are our lessons at school worthwhile? Yes they are worthwhile because you could become someone who is very successful with the knowledge from school. Maths is used later in our lives for better and bigger things, our life is a math game after school. It is time for us to realise what is worthwhile and what is not.
