Original

What is school for? Some polls gathered from different areas are different. About 45% of people said it was to prepare students for tests. Around a quarter people was to get a job. Just over 26% of Americans purpose was to teach children about citizenship.

And just about only part of people said it was to have privileges. I think we can learn many different and interesting things in the school.
For example, drawing was the most interesting thing that I learned in school.
