 Why do we need school?

But first what is school well it’s something we attend to learn how to read or write or how to divide numbers if you ever need to in life. And the bullet points down below tell you some of the ways school is important. Now when do we go to School. At the ages of 5 to 16 we need to attend school if you are over those ages then you don’t have to.


  • To learn

  • To get a job

  • To socialise

Now let's explain more about why we need school because bullet points might not be enough.  Children need to go to school to learn and to make friends.  


Children go to school to learn. Some of the things you learn at school are important for life. So school is extremely important as school prepares you for life 

It teaches you to become a normal functioning person.


Going to school will help you get a job. You need to learn maths to become an accountant. You need to know how to spell to become a writer. You need to know how to read so you know what you're ordering at a food place or to read directions.


Going to school teaches you to socialise.  School can teach you some really good social skills. It also teaches you about physical education which is also really important. Again social skills are very important as the friendships you make when you're five you could still have those same friends when you're 25. So yes school is important as almost all the reasons explaining why school is really important have been written down here. imagine how you would be without ever attending school?
