Question

How does school work make you smarter?

Answer 1

Think about what the world would be without it. If I didn't know how to count, then I wouldn't be able to tell how long the food we have would last. If I didn't learn the fundamentals of science, then I wouldn't be able to learn the more complicated stuff. And if I didnt know the more complicated stuff, then how would I be able to find ways to prevent bad complicated stuff, and make more good complicated stuff.

If I didn't know what people did in the past, then I wouldn't know not to make the same mistake in the future.

Answer 5

as a teacher, i would say that school work is designed to enhance learning.  we learn auditorily (hearing), visually (seeing), and kinesthetically (doing).  so by watching and listening to how something is done or about something, practicing or schoolwork is the next step to apply what you are learning.  

smarter, of  course, is a relative term.  smarter than what?

Answer 6

aside from teaching us basics of life so that we can live normaly school also teachs you how to use your brain to solve problems, it teaches you how to interact with others in all kinds of situations.  teachs you how to stretch you brain and use it in way you never thought possible.  school helps your brain figure out shortcuts to retain information faster and easier.

Answer 8

You  are  forced  to  exercise  your  brain ,

Which  very  few  kids  will  do   on  their  own .

Left   alone ,  most  will  watch  TV  or  do  video  games .

Entertainment  is  just  that ,  NOT  brain  exercise .

Although  you  might  learn  a  couple  of  things  from  entertainment   (OK ,  like  watching  Alexander )

The  real  things  you  need ,  language ,  articulation , math ,  algebra ,  calculus ,  etc   etc  etc  ,   will  NOT  be  garnered  in  a  video  game .

It doesn't, it makes you more informed.

Answer 10

Anything that makes you think is improving your brain power. Even learning things that you will never use again is still excersing your brain and making you smarter. You might not need to know how to do a certain thing, but everything you learn compounds and makes it easier for you to learn the important stuff later on in life.
