How can schools prepare students for the future?

• School is the ground where children learn skills,
  acquire knowledge and are being prepared to
  become responsible adults and whole
  personalities. Children are also being prepared
  to choose their future profession. First of
  all, children are taught the use of language and
  most of the times they learn more than one
  language. This is very useful because they can
  express their feelings and their opinions through
  language. Their opinions may not be right, but
  someone with the ability to express a thought or
  a belief constitutes an integrated person.
  Children have the chance to learn the principles
  of humanism which are essential to becoming a
  responsible citizen. Moreover, they learn how to
  be responsible and this happens in numerous ways.
  For example, they are expected to have a project
  done or be at school at a certain time.
  Children can also socialize at school since
  they come in touch with lots of people and
  exchange opinions. One could say that school is
  like society in miniature. Another role of
  school is to prepare students to choose a
  profession for the future. At school lots of
  subjects are taught and students have the
  opportunity to see which subject they like or
  not. This leads to finding their inclination and
  finally choosing a job. However, children are not
  very mature at this age, so they can?t take such
  a serious decision. Nevertheless, subjects help
  them broaden their interests no matter what their
  personal interests are. In addition, in most
  schools, there is a subject taught which explains
  students the advantages and disadvantages of each
  profession. So students can have an overall
  opinion concerning all the options they have for
  their future studies. In conclusion, schools
  undoubtedly help children to gain for their
  future in society and at work. They learn to be
  responsible adults, because they have to face the
  consequences of their choices, so they can
  integrate to society easily.

The role of school in preparing future adults

• Nowadays that education is provided freely, most
  of the children hate school and studying, but
  they don?t understand the supplies that they get
  by attending courses. These supplies will help
  them to manage their future as adults. First of
  all, students learn how to be responsible by
  carrying out their assignments. Teachers usually
  assign loads of projects to students in order to
  check how much pressure they can take and to
  teach them to meet deadlines. That can be
  achieved by giving them a certain date to hand
  the project over. But if they are late, they have
  to deal with some consequences. So students so as
  to avoid facing their fear of punishment or
  decreasing of their marks, they try to schedule
  their responsibilities by making a program. They
  learn, but ignore it at the same time, how to
  discipline themselves. Also sometimes teachers
  put students into teams. In this way, students
  try to co-operate with each other and have as an
  overall aim to resolve a problem or an exercise.
  As regards the help that school?s subjects
  provide in choosing a career I have to say, that
  not all students have the same interests and
  talents. For this reason there is a huge range of
  subjects which help students to find out the
  profession that they want to follow. For example,
  if one student is better at physics than history,
  that means he is more interested in practical
  subjects and in effect practical professions like
  an economist, a computer scientist a doctor etc.
  will be suitable for him. In reverse, students
  who are into theoretical subjects may want to
  follow a profession like a teacher, an
  archaeologist or a historian. To conclude, all
  these may seem difficult for children, but in
  this way they are being prepared for the market
  of professions

• I am very happy with my life. I always do the
  things that I admire. I am satisfied with my
  family as well as with my friends. I can always
  find solutions to my problems. I can arrange my
  homework so I have free time to meet my friends.
  Every day we go to play basketball or football
  and we often go to the cinema or to a café. I
  have friends that help me with my problems and
  difficult times. They are trustworthy and very
  humorous. I love my family. My parents let me do
  the things I want and they help me when I need
  something. I always do my homework and I have
  very good marks. My life is fantastic, but I
  always make an attempt to make it better.
