Purpose of High School

                The purpose of High School is to prepare and aware teenagers of the life they will have outside of high school in college and in the later years of their life. It prepares kids for their future career and teaches them work ethic and how to be exceptional at what they put their mind to.  High school also teaches people the basics of math, reading and writing which form the fundamentals of life. You will have to write essays all throughout your life, whether it is for college applications or letter of recommendations for other people later down the road. You will need to know basic math for when you bank your income and if depending on your career you may need more math knowledge. It allowed them to dig into what they wanted to be when they “grew up” and to learn about themselves and learn what they aspired to be later in life. Regardless if the high school system did this or not, they at least attempted and got some students to succeed in the program. For every student, the experience is different, but every administrator and teacher work their hardest for each and every student to push them and make them succeed have them become what they want. If there was something to change there would be the obvious "shunning" from teachers that students get who don't do Advanced Placement classes; the bullying, the selective function of students who aren't like them, who aren't their classes. I would change the conformity that teachers also expect from the students; having each student be the same and not think for themselves.
