HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE TOEFL IBT

If you asked a random person on the street what they though the purpose of school was, they would probably say something about education and be done with it. Beyond simply educating the masses at their most receptive ages, school is, more than anything else, about preparing the student, as a whole person, for the real world.

Many students can’t remember many of their lessons from primary and secondary education. But they will often remember certain defining social situations, and whatever growth accompanied those events. If, after completing secondary school, they decided to further study a subject from secondary school, they would likely remember a lot of information pertaining to that one subject, but may not be able to recall much from other subjects. School is much more than simply sitting in class and taking part in lessons.

 Schools have, for a long time, also recognized the importance of growing the entire person, rather than just their brain. Concerts, dances, open- and close-of-semester ceremonies are just a few examples of schools actively trying to socialize their student body, beyond simply sticking them in a classroom and leaving it at that.

To summarize, schools have always functioned as more than simple centers of learning. They are the bridge from adolescence to adulthood, more than any other institution, and their role shouldn’t be underappreciated.
