Yup...Preping you to use your brain. If you never wrote an essay at high school, try leaping into it for the first time at tertiary-level - you're fucked.

I've always wished that teachers and school administrators would make this more clear in the first year in high school - I didnt figure it out until later on, I spent the first few years telling myself I didnt need any of this shit because I didnt wanna be a scientist, a mathmatician or a History tutor, and I felt like I was wasting my time.
