Schools need to change

    Schools prepare us for the real world but the real world is changing fast and our schooling systems havn't changed much in 100 years back in the industrial age when we needed factory workers. Now we have so many different things we can do like be a doctor or a artist for a example and also we still have industrial values and like to limit students creativity and telling them any other way of learning is wrong, people learn differently and at different rates and if you are a bit slow you will be seen as a failure when all you needed was more time, I think schools should be a place where everyone can learn differently and express their ideas and be put into classes that will better fit them with what they want to do and how they learn. Schools is already a stressful place so why add more stress by doing test that isn't fitting for everyone, not everyone reads things the same way as other people some may misread a question or be confused on what the teacher is asking for resulting in them failing the test and feeling like a failure, students should not be seen as a failure from a bad test score, test are a bad way of showing learning because its forcing us to memorize information for a day and forgetting it the next and test just show how well someone can memorize. I think just homework and classwork should be enough, teachers also have a hour to teach us to so why would they need to have a test when instead they can just teach us more and new things and more important thing. I ask this questions a lot when my teachers teach us a new lesson "when will I use this in real life?" and they normally respond as you won't when they could teach us how to do taxes or how to buy a house something we would actually use not y=mx+b or geography.
