Top Ten Reasons On Why We Do School

#1.) So you can actually win an argument.
     -Stunning your opponent with a plethora of facts - pointless or useful - is the perfect way to shut them up enough to make you feel like you've won.

#2.) So you can do what you want to do.
    -My dad's favorite saying: "You have to do what you need to do before you can do what you want to do." (Or something like that. Basically, you can't be a millionaire if you don't know how to count.)

#3.) So you're not stupid.
     -No one wants to be stupid. Don’t ask me why. They just don’t.

#4.) So you don't look like an idiot.
     -This is important. Especially if you're the kind of person who likes to debate . . . or open your big mouth in any way, shape, or form.

#5.) To get a job.
     -Boring, but true. We all need a little moola in life. We all need a little lovin' too, but I'll save that for a different post. ;-)

#6.) To know and understand the world around you.
     -You can't really complain about something that you know nothing about.

#7.) To come up with good reasons on why you need school.
     - I'm running out.

#9.) To satisfy curiosity.
     -We're curious creatures. Sometimes - maybe not all the time - but sometimes, we learn something in school that might actually be intriguing; something we didn't know before. I know it may seem like a long shot, but it might be possible.

#10.) To remember what comes after seven in my top ten list.
     -Be honest, did you notice a dropped number or do you have to scroll up? I think I need to have a talk with your Math teacher.
