In math, the essentials for real life seem to boil down to just addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. As for physics and science, it feels like we could do without most of it. School did teach us how to write, though.
So why not make school just three years long before heading to college, or even skip it altogether?

It’s an interesting perspective! While it’s true that basic arithmetic (+, -, ÷, ×) is essential for daily life, education serves several purposes beyond just imparting specific skills.
Critical Thinking: Subjects like math and science help develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills that are valuable throughout life, even if we don’t use every concept daily.
Foundation for Future Learning: Many concepts in higher education build on what we learn in school, so a broader education can help us understand complex subjects better as we progress.
Social Skills: School is also a place to develop social skills, teamwork, and communication abilities, which are crucial in both personal and professional lives.
Exposure to Ideas: Education exposes us to diverse subjects and ideas, helping us discover interests and passions that can influence our career paths.
Civic Awareness: A well-rounded education fosters informed citizens who can engage with societal issues.
So, while the idea of a shorter school experience has its appeal, the broader benefits of a comprehensive education often outweigh the desire for brevity! What do you think?
