Have These Subjects Helped You?

What is the essence of going to school? I have met a lot of people who could not answer this question. A lot of people think that going to school is just all about studying your course of study and passing your examinations. That's one of the major reasons we are in school but that's not all. There are some things that we learn in school without our teachers teaching that particular thing in class but we just learn it out of impulse. Also, we have subjects that are about what I am talking about. We have two subjects that are majorly for it. They are; Civic Education and Social Studies.

I'm talking about how to act when you're amongst people. I have realized that when you enroll your child in school, he or she automatically learns how to be friends and also to cope when he's among people. We automatically learn it. Also, I have realized that a lot of people do not know the essence of Civic Education in school or the essence of Social Studies. A lot of us forget what we have been taught after school. And we can recognize those types of people. They are the ones who would not put what they have been taught to use.

Civic Education and Social Studies are being taught in schools for children or pupils to know how to act positively in society. These two subjects help children to be morally upright and also to be able to solve societal problems. It also helps children to influence others positively in society. Also, these subjects help us to differentiate between wrong and right in society. These are the major reasons why we are being taught these subjects.

And I'm glad that in the Nigerian Educational System, these are compulsory subjects that a child must pass before he or she can graduate from primary school. Also, Civic Education is a compulsory subject in the West African Examination. I did it too. And the topics are not the ones that we can easily forget. Once it sinks in our heads, it sinks for life. It is not something that we can forget.

How many of us studied these subjects in school? Also, how many of us are putting it to use? It hurts so bad when I see people acting in negative ways and I begin to ask myself some questions. I begin to ask myself if those sets of people passed through these subjects. Also, these subjects have made some people better people and also prominent people in society. It has helped me a lot. What about you?
