Why is literacy--that is, the ability to read and write-important?

English

Answer:

Literacy is important, as it is a common medium in which, at least one certain group, if not multiple bilingual groups, are able to use to communicate to each other quite efficiently, which includes the ability to not only be able to read information and to understand it throughout all mediums, while also being able to express one's own opinions and thoughts in such a way as to allow others of the same kind to be able to understand the point you are trying to give across. If everybody did not have literacy, there will be no medium in which to send across one's ideas and findings to be shared across the community, and maybe even the world.

What would you do if there wasn’t school anymore? has to be atleast 6 sentences
Natalka [10]

And it’s not hard to find them. Why? For most people in developing countries, there was no schooling until 1 or 2 generations before us. In fact, my grandparents are the first people to go to school in my whole big family. So for me to see how life is without school, simply “listen back” to history. And these are the consequences -

Education depends heavily on parents - means there are much more parent-children bonding than there is now which is good, however! This means there is no time for parents to totally “pursue career options” as then they would need to ensure good education for their children before they can be left alone to work.

People start working at a younger age, and hence become experts at a younger age as well - This is because of factor no.1 . Now western pedagogists and psychologists would say this is not good for the children mental development etc. But the expertise - I mean, when is the last time you see a 23-year old managing 10 acres of rice field? You can have those kind of people in rural Indonesia still. Also, I am a fan of cooking and many a great old chefs right now were young & homeless back after World War II, and just started out at the bottom washing dishes in restaurants. See how that got them to where they are now.

People with Creative Aspirations can dwelve into their passions at a younger age as well, with less social pressures - well pressure from family or parent expectation there will always be, but at least not so much on peer pressures.

An advantage for people who are street smart, who are critical thinking but won’t play by the rule book - the current (which is also, 3-century old) schooling system rewards people who follow the textbook and rules. While we see how many successful people at points in their lives use hacks to overcome obstacles they can’t clear when playing with rule books.

And those street smart people would be the ones who change career fields and move up/down the Social Ladder, because the others are mostly “successors” to what their parents did - easiest example is my grandfather. He saw the Indonesian Independence War (1945–1949) as his opportunity to finally not work in the ricefields of his village anymore. He went to Yogyakarta which was the capital at that time, get some connections and then get university degree as well as a position in a State Department. Voila.

The best part of all… There would be no (or minimum) such current problems such as “youth unemployment” or “Humanities degrees that are useless. When people really love a field and they want to do jobs related to it (when they don’t live anymore with their parents of course, before that, parents will dictate what they should do), people would simply go to experts or people who already do the job, do trainings, train for years, and get that job. Just like what humanity have been doing for most of its history.

Aside from these, there are definitely 1000 negative things that come out of the absence of school. But hey, like I said in the beginning, I’m trying to bring out positivity!
