Do you think it's important to pay attention in school?
I do think it's important to pay attention in school. I like to learn. School can come in any form. Do you think it's important to pay attention in school? Do you like to learn?
I do understand what you are saying about learning outside of being a school student, Jen. But I think it is important being in school to learn many things beside study math or science alone. I think by being in school we learn to socialize with other students and we tend to discipline ourselves better when we have homework etc, it gives us a structure at the early age. I also have met some people who are doing really well by being home schooled by their parents only. I think there are some pro and con for everything.
But after high school, yes I think it is a good idea to learn something on your own without having a teacher monitoring you. I also agree that you can work part-time while taking some online courses to upgrade your education or even doing it just for fun. Yes, we can learn something from many different venues, even from watching tv's programs! Alas...learnig is something we have to do everyday. After a while we even finding out learning about ourselves is one of the most interesting things in life, Jen!
Interesting question Jen! I think it's good to pay attention in school. However we often come to that conclusion when we're no longer in school! So many distractions for growing children in our school years.I didn't have much trouble paying attention in schoolm but I also found the social dynamics intriguing and quite captivating, like most kids. I agree with Rita, there are many ways of learning. If we keep learning and growing, our life is most interesting. Barbara
hey jen, i think it is definitely important to pay attention in school. otherwise, what are you doing in school anyways? i must admit though, in high school subjects that i was forced to take, and some i didn't like (english, history, social studies), i didn't pay much attention. as a result my grades weren't very good in those subjects. but i paid attention in Math, because i liked it. math was my best subject. i wish i paid more attention in english and history, because even though i may not have liked it at the time, i would now appreciate having more knowledge of those subjects today. At least we have the ability to learn from reputable sources on the internet, or reading books. eddie
It is ironic that when our brains are young and so absorbent we, as children, can be so resistant to paying attention in school. As they say “youth is wasted on the young!” I think as adults we all would have worked harder in school if we had a chance to do it over.
Yes, it's important to pay attention in school Jen. But it's just as important to pay attention in general. Just like I am always paying attention to you! And I do like to learn. That's why I am such a quick learner. Dad
I think school is so important for your brain and your social life!!! You can learn so much from other people, especially from other countries that you can't learn in a textbook!!! My favourite subject was gym as I loved playing all the different sports but I also really enjoyed my History Classes as I loved to learn about our World. I also have enjoyed taking various studies including my Real Estate License. I learnt so much as an adult student that I was far more focused!!!!! Much better student than when I was younger!!!! Never stop learning. Looking forward to seeing more of your artwork again once your computer screen is up and working . APxoxo
