What exactly is the right amount of school influence on student’s life? What is the responsibility of the school on students? This is the very question that school have to ask themselves when they set up school curriculum. In many religious schools, school basically dominates student’s daily life. Students have to follow strict religious rules of the school and attend church ceremonies and follow the teachings of the bible, quran or whatever religion one believes in. In this type of school, people are told to obey their teachers respectfully and no one can ever question the authority. Besides teaching the students on academics, the school is also responsible in teaching students proper manners. However, in a more liberal school, students are merely taught with academics. Behavior problem is usually not the school’s problem but the parents. Outside of classroom, students are able to have their own social life without school interference. People are allowed to have intimate relationship between one another and couples are allowed in school. The amount of school influence on student’s life varies greatly on the curriculum, its background, and the social-culture norm the school institutes in. For example, in most Asian school, the school focuses on pure academic subjects such as math, science, literatures or history. However, in most school with western education, extracurricular activities such as team sports or volunteer plays a big part that the school provide for their students. It seriously depends on what type of school we are talking about.
