I think schools should encourage their students to think about and
study what interests them, but without pushing them to decide right
away what they want to do when they are older.  I think school should
be a place where students learn about topics they care about, as well
as a place where they are introduced to new information and ideas.
While some people have a good idea of what they want to do from a young
age and would benefit from being allowed to learn, many have no idea
until they try out a few different things.  

 I think one of
the most important reasons that it's so difficult to determine the
purpose of school is education serves different purposes for different people. 

That is why I think that the most important thing for a school to do is to

frequently reevaluate its teaching methods to make sure that it is meeting the

needs of its students.
