After taking a poll about all of the different goals that schools have, and the importance level of each one of them it got me thinking about all of these different goals, and which I believe are best for the school. Something that I find to be important, however, is knowing that sometimes having only one goal is not enough. Schools should have a list of goals for their students, and try to promote all of them in their curriculum. Having only one goal in a school system would most likely lead to students being underdeveloped, and not having learned in enough variety to be the best they can be.
After being given a list of different goals for schools I had to figure out which ones I believe to be the most important. From all of the goals that I was given, I believe that most of them are very important for students to be getting a well-rounded education. One that is pretty much a blanket statement for all of the important goals is that students should be well prepared to go on beyond high school. This means in the 'real world' of college or work. This also means that students should be knowledgable enough to participate in many different kinds of conversations they will have while socializing. Most often this includes things like different cultures and current events that are happening. Obviously schools can't possibly teach students everything they need to know, but they should be able to teach students how to get this kind of knowledge in our new age of technology.
