Social aspect
School is the first avenue of socialising for a child. Up till then, parents and immediate family members were the only human interaction a child was familiar to. And familiarity is a breeding ground of stagnancy. With schools, children are exposed, not only,to new ideas but also to same aged compatriots. This instils sociable practices such as empathy, friendship, participation, assistance which turn out to be important in their adulthood.
Physical aspect
A child, after conception, goes through various physical development. While home provides a restricted outlet, in school, a child can channelize his energy into more sociable avenue. It is noted in studies that while, in familiar environment, the child is in equipped to deal with sudden bursts of energy, learns to be at his/her best behaviour when exposed to same-aged individual. Plus, familiarity leads to taking advantage of situations, while in school, the playing field is levelled. Also presence of activities such as sports, craft help them concentrate their boundless energies into something productive.
Overall aspect
Earlier, schools were considered as places to learn events in history chapter, solve tough mathematical problems or recite poems and sonnets! In current educational scenario, a child learns to go beyond the traditional way of rote learning. They are taught to develop a mind of their own and through the flexible curriculum, curiosity is promoted. The child the freed of the shackles of mental blocks and let’s his/her imagination run its course. Importance of imagination is stressed upon, extensively. With play enactions and an encompassing curriculum leads to a well-developed cognitive system.
Conclusion
Life is also about learning, apart from living. While we can learn, to a certain extent from our parents, they tend to be unilateral and inclined towards the one who is imparting it. In school, we come across various such sources from whom we can imbibe immense knowledge, instrumental for our development. Hence school, is necessary for children to inculcate what we call “the workings of life”
Education forms the base of any society. It is responsible for the economic, social, and political growth and development of society in general. The thread of the growth of society depends upon the quality of education that is being imparted. And it is through schools, one gets exposed to such a development.
