DJMONACO: school is for the poor .School is a means to an end .That end? money.Do the rich go to school? yes.Why? only to get a degree, for the pride .If u want to get rich dont depend only on school.Be creative.Get financial plans.Be an enterpreneurschool is for everyone.if bill gate was born in a thick forest without going to school to learn how to read and write be it in any language,no one to teach him apart from his parents,no technology to look out for or learn from television,no internet to learn from,just him and his parents living in the cave.i will see if he would have gotten to where he his today.at least basic education must be given to the child and going to school is part of it.give birth to a child and don't send your child to school and see the result.the word financial,entrepreneur,creative, tell me, how did you learn how to write such words.or immediately they gave birth to you,you started writing right from womb.guess you went to school to learn how to read and write |

butanep: I ve been asking myself this simple question... Education is a means of acquiring knowledge and the school is like a platform where the knowledge is acquired.just what i wanted to hear from some one.school is not certificate and certificate is not school.basic education is a necessity for everyone.like you said,the norm of the society made believed that only when you go to school you become somebody but do you know that even a work shop where people learn to do things is also school,hair dressing saloon where some girls do learn how to dress hair is also a school,a taylor who learnt how to sew cloths from some ones shop went to school in that shop.so when we talk about school,its not necessarily that it must be higher instititution like the society made us to believe but one thing still remains the fact, we all need basic education and going school is part of it,certificate is not school and school is not all about the certificate. |

If to say na just me,i no for go school o{University to be precise} It was by force because of my parent and the society expectations. I knew right from secondary school that i always wanted to build a business and be my own boss,finding/getting a job was a "NO" for me. The kind of knowledge i gather from the internet and books is by far more valuable than what any lecturer ever taught me. Today i make my money and my so called degree has nothing to do with it,i havn't used my certificate for anything.So i would say time and money i used for school was a complete waste.Like seriously i should have invested 4 years in Something better. 1 Like |

beeing good in schoold dont means someone will have what it takes to be sucessfull in live but to get a good job on a job market with strong oversupply, its necessary to have a good looking curriculum vitae good marks in school or university are no prove for good woking skills but how else emplovers sould decide who to hire when the school/university degree is everything they know about job candidates? we are not living in small viliges anymore where everybody knows everybody beeing a sucessfluss buinessman is a differnt story because you dont need to proof your skills to somebody bevor getting the chance to prove yourself |

As a young boy after my SSCE, I didn't know why people go to school until problem of getting admission hit me bad. Both of my parents are senior staff at NNAMDI AZIKWE UNI, but dey couldn't secure admission for me due to one problem or another for 3yrs To make the story short a friend advised me to apply for jamb poly, as God may have it i was offered admission to study COMPUTER ENGINEERING at federal polytechnic OKO. A night to school resumption as I was parking my luggages my father came to me and gave me this pieces of advice The aim of going to is ...... 1) To achieve success in Education (u don't need to be the best in the class but try get a good grade) 2)To make good friends (good friends helps a lot after school in many ways both in getting information and contact) 3) That success is in the student not at institution (whether college of Education, poly or university u can be whatever u want to be) Believe me the above 3 has helped me a lot, that is why I went to school 1 Like |

MORNDEW: School is meant to rid people of ignorance and prepare dem for d future. The former is d most reason because when ignorance i dealt with, it opens the door for opportunity. Many suffer today becos of ignorance. Unfortunately our educational system does nt hv the curriculum to fight ignorance, illiteracy and bad attitude, hence, the kind of ignorance and stupidity being exibited here on Nairaland by many.jwd monkey on da 3piece n tie sweatin'profusely in da arsse,dahell u tryna sound like on here,mojo? |

To cultivate the habit of learning. That is the best thing I took from school. If anybody graduates from school without having developed that habit, then all the money spent on their education was a waste. |

Olutola88: The commonest reason for going to school is to have a secured future; Get a noble job with your degree, have good work environment, access to better healthcare, good retirement package etc. This applies not only to Nigerians but also to people all over the world. I went to school for the same reason that you gave. From experience going to school does not secure you a bright future. Going to school only enslave you - working for others and enriching them at your expense and wasting your economic life untill you are retired if you are lucky not to be sacked before then. Some might dis agree with me, but the fact is if you had made so much money working you will end up becoming poor if you dont learn the art of making money which is not and will never be taught in school |

I think we have no choice but to go to school, (if we don't want to go our parents are waiting for us with a good punishment XD), but the point of going to school is to be able to acquire knowledge and adequate academic training, which increases the chances of improving the quality of life. |
