Purpose of school - Jose Loera

Many have questioned what’s the function of school? Some people have different reasons but, I have my own. I interpret the main role of school as introducing a set of shared values. Why is it so important to learn about our democratic government? Well, we need to learn how to act and enjoy being a citizen of our country and learning our history. For example, our history of how our country was made has a big role in our life. The laws we made are fair and acceptable. Without laws, our country would be a crazy! That is why it’s important that the children of our country learn the laws and history. Our democratic government has a big role. Without the laws, we wouldn’t even have school. We need to keep our country safe, united, and fair. We need to analyze new ways to teach shared values in fun ways the children will enjoy. We need to keep shared values a function of school!
