Explaining Writing: What is the purpose of school?

WALT: Write about what we think is the purpose of school.

What is the purpose of school?

Introduction: 
Why do you think school is important? Well guess what, there is going to be about 3 reasons of what is the purpose of school, what do you think is the purpose of school is? Well learning is one of the reasons but let’s get to explaining!

Reason 1:
The first reason that we personally agree on is learning, we think that learning is one of the reasons why school is important. Learning includes having fun math, and literacy. I personally say that maths is my favorite subject.

Reason 2:
The second reason is what I think is a good reason for why school is actually important, well school is important because you have to get a good education to get a good job, to get a good education you have to stay in school and learn a lot, if you want to get your dream job like being a lawyer or a doctor then you will have to go to a different university, one that includes becoming a doctor or a lawyer.  

Reason 3: 
Lastly I think that listening is my last reason because, you have to listen to the teacher so she or he can teach you, listening is actually another word for being good, so you have to be good and listen to what your teacher has to say, so you can have a great day and your teacher can be nice.

Conclusion:
Thank you for reading this, I hope you enjoyed reading my writing about what is the purpose of school, enjoy being your age, listen to your teachers, help make it easy and learn, and finally get a good education so you can get a good job!
