Some people think the main purpose of school is to turn children into good citizens and workers, rather than to benefit them as individuals. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Part of the community thinks that
schools
are meant to create responsible citizens
instead
of benefitting
children
on an individual level specifically. I strongly agree with the
thoughts
and will explain them in my essay.
Schools
play a vital role in any individuals growth. A child spends approximately 15 to 17 years of his or her total life in schooling. There are a plethora of roles that
schools
enact in
children
's life. Students start to learn differentiating between good and bad in their pre-teens from school which is one of the significant attributes.
Hence
,
schools
should inculcate important social
thoughts
rather than just keeping them focused on books and careers.
For example
, they should do social excursions like visiting elderly homes, helping handicapped people, lending hands to poor people for food and so on.
Such
activities will result in the strong character development of a child from a young age and will benefit the country and community as a whole.
Additionally
,
schools
should not only focus on a child's level of education, but they should
also
enforce socio-economic activities as part of their curriculum by creating different groups of
children
including all ages. The education system should be adapted in a very dynamic way in a school. Just letting students understand the benefits of degrees and the amount of money they can earn, will not only ruin a
children
's life but will
also
hamper the soft culture in society.
Hence
making
children
's selfish and immature.
Furthermore
,
schools
should develop a free environment that allows students to put their ideas forward for doing activities that benefits society.
For example
, doing a small act and creating money and
then
donating it.
Such
freedom of thought will help
children
to think about society at large and benefit it. To conclude,
Schools
should focus on creating good citizens by adapting multiple positive
thoughts
and making
this
a part of the education system as individual development will result positive if social
thoughts
in
children
's are fed strongly.
