The main purpose of school is to broaden students’ minds and to lay the foundations of dif ferent scientific fields.
The main purpose of school should be the development of social skills.
Pupils can’t continue their study in the uni versity without this knowledge.
Teachers can’t form a pupil’s personality without deep knowledge in different fields of science.
It is impossible to develop our society if its members don’t have knowledge in different fields of science.
The development of social skills provides pupils with a real preparation for life.
If school doesn’t develop social skills which include communication abilities, computer skills, etc., pupils won’t be able to become active members of the society.
Any person can’t be happy if he doesn’t have these skills. That’s why school must develop them.
