Why do we have school

We need school for prepare us for what the world is. Work work work and obviously lichess
@Robochessyodha I assume it's s joke question.
Let's disregard the social aspects of school, and focus on your two topics. Math and writing.

Without education, how can you verify that the math is correct?, or the language used, is direct, intentional and legally/grammatically correct?

Without education, how can you read what the AI writes?
You learn to read in school. Without education, how can you understand language. Both written and spoken.

How can you voice a word of disagreement, if you can't do the math, or write for yourself. Without an AI to influence your words/equations?

Warning:
Placing absolut trust in AI or software to do your calculations/written /reading, then you are putting your faith in, not only AI, but also the programmers designing the AI.

> we don't need math we have calculators, we don't need English we have ChatGPT, we don't need history, because there a saying: let the past be the past so then what do we need from school?

The problem probably comes from the fact that you don't understand anything about certain courses. therefore the problem may come from the quality of teaching and especially the lack of pedagogy. School is a place of study so try to hang on, school helps you to have a diploma and ESPECIALLY useful knowledge for life.

I would have posted the song, but I'm currently recovering from a link violation. - :]

Song Lyrics - As song by Pink Floyd - A nice song for the thread !

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!

[Chorus:
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!

[Chorus: Islington Green School Students]
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
I can understand the question ́cause i was a bad student, but i think in some cases the school is necessary to discover what you are looking for, meanwhile you learn interesting/boring things. It's true that you don't need school for some jobs, actually my boss does not have higher education, but that's what life about.
They say school is free. We pay with our souls.
