“Why do you go to school?”

The topic of the project: “Why do you go to school?”

The author of the project: Dusheba Alexander the student of the 10-A form

The topic “Why do you go to school?” is very interesting. I think all students give you different answers. First of all, we should go to school to acquire knowledge, to pass assessment tests and enter the university. But school is not only lessons and hometasks, it’s the place where we learn to communicate, cope with difficulties and learn social skills.  Unfortunately, some students attend school only to meet friends or their parents make them study. Only when someone becomes adult he or she will regret about school years. I think that the knowledge and skills acquired at school will be useful for me in my adult life. They will help me to get prestigious job and I hope to earn enough money for good living. We made the survey among the students of the 10 forms.

To my mind we need to change educational process in our school, so we give our ideas in the projects-papers. Working at the project we made the presentation “Modern education” (system of education, aims, methods, problems of modern education)

All students dislike wearing school uniform and want to have dress down days. So we made slide – presentation   “Pros and cons about the uniform”

We can make a conclusion that our system of education, school uniform, need changes.
