It is so important to be informed.  You can't make decisions based on the junk that is shoved at you from every media angle.  Every news station has an agenda, and they know what demographic is watching, and what they want to hear.  It's all about ratings for them.  This is why you need to be in the know yourself.  It is a responsibility we all have as Americans, and alot of people fought very hard to maintain this, the very least we can do is care about the land in which we live enough to involve ourselves in its betterment.

Children learn in spite of their teachers....The first thing I was taught at teacher training. \n\ndrilling is fine provided you understand what you are learning. The multiplication tables are a good example of this. We used to memorise those tables like a poem. Did it help? Yes becasue they provided us with quick answers when dealing with more complex issues. \n\nThe fact is that there are some things you just need to know. You can either make the effort to remember it (and there are lots of techniques for that) or you can look it up in a book every time you need to know.

Corruption must be stopped.  Educating the youth is a primordial task of the government and it must not be derailed.

Students learn much more when they go to different sources and research & gather information themselves as opposed to the teacher spoon-feeding them. Moreover, most of the times, researching about a topic is more fun for students. Therefore, it's an effective way for students to learn something new. As a similar example, consider the following. \n\nWhy should secondary school science teachers assign Practical Experiments to students?\n- Firstly, it's a lot more fun as opposed to studying from the textbook/notes only.\n- Secondly, We tend to remember the things we discvoer ON OUR OWN as compared to the things WE ARE TAUGHT. \n- Thirdly, when we research a topic, we read over a wide variety of materials. We, ususally, retain that knowledge for a longer time than we remember the information we were just provided, without making any effort.\n- Lastly & most importantly, when we researhc a topic, we DO understand it (even if with difficulty, we do understand it finally!!)\n\nThe same goes for Research Projects.

Because without it most people would be ignorant. Learning is like building.  Without a foundation you cant build a wall.  Without a wall you cant build a ceiling, etc.. So with no schooling to learn the basics, you'll never acheive anything greater than the basics.  With schooling you can build on top of the basics and achieve greater things.  Knowledge is power.  it can give you happiness, love, almost anything when applied correctly.  The moment your born you begin to learn.  It takes you years to learn to walk, to speak, etc..  School is designed, to accelerate your rate of learning so that you can move beyond the ones before you in one life time.  Today the average high school student has obtained knowledge that the greatest minds, and whole races of people took centuries to learn.  Without school our people will achieve nothing greater than the ones before us. One could go on forever on the importance of school.  Nobody can deny the importance of school.  Only an ignorant imature mind can argue and choose to deny the importance of school for his or her own selfish wants.

I am assuming you want to know why music, art, PE and health should be included in a school's curriculum.  It is obvious why all of these are needed in a person's daily life.  The main reason would be that most students probably will not have any other introduction into these important subjects other than through their classes at school.  What is a shame is that many schools are now eliminating most if not all of the above.  Wondering why you asked this question since it is a fairly obvious answer.

Because people do not understand the aim of education,,Education in school and uni.s is not only giving information (that is more in schools) , but mainly it teachs the person HOW to get information,,millions of books are there everywhere full of information (plus internet  ...etc), what ment by education is to enable the person to get the information and use it to solve a problem..(of course I am not talking about the basics)

Yes. For several reasons.\n\nOne is that you get to see how a campaign is run and you get to see a candidate tackle several issues. You get to know a lot of candidates personally and see them professionally. You learn the issues that voters take seriously and want a candidate to address. You find out why and what people expect. \n\nPolitics is a sport just like basketball and football. When you work on a political campaign you are not just a spectator in the bleachers, you are actually a player. You learn how to run the ball.\n\nOnce you have played the game, it stays with you forever. You end up listening to all the issues all the time. And whether your candidate wins or loses, you never forget how fun the game is.\n\nAlso, candidates learn who you are. They remember you from the other guy's campaign. The more you volunteer, the more familiar your name is in other candidates circles. It helps especially if you are in school.\n\nI started running around the block and canvassing for a neighbor who was running for state legislature. I was 12 years old. Every two years I would circle the block for him, having a bigger and bigger assignment as I got older. When I was 18, I was his campaign manager. \n\nHe paid for my first year's tuition to college because he and his wife were childless and they just wanted to help. \n\nMy sister took over my job when I went to college. \n\nBoth my sister and I have served as members of our city councils and she spent 12 years in the legislature. I teach political science at a high school. \n\nThe younger you start, the more it gets into your blood. You never shake your knowledge of the process.

Cuz the teachers are boring! But I agree with Holly T that history is fascinating to learn cuz it will show you the fact of life. Why things happened this way and that way. Further more history does make and shape recent the world.

They don't pay attention in school, every public school system in America, (and I've been to a few) teaches civics.(which is, how the country runs, the nature of the government and how to function in it.) \nSecondarily, these kids don't see their parents or other role models exercising their right to vote, or serve on juries or even write to their congressman or senators!  and if you don't know how to use something properly  you won't use it at all!

Knowledge and guidance. The government should make the peole happy and the people in return should do their share to make the country productive and peaceful :-)

Education is an important factor in electing a party to form government.  Education does away the considerations other than the merit and past services of the person seeking election.\n\nFurther, I see brightness in Information Technology being introduced in governement records.  Once the records are computerised, taking a decision, which is clearly against the facts on record, will become difficult.  \n\nThirdly the population should have some sense of honesty in general.  If a politician is offered the bribe, how and from whom can he demand.

Coz youngsters and teens think politics is a dirty game and all they are interested in is enjoying their lives instead of helping people through politics.But i think after watching Rang de basanti more youngsters will come forward.
