Spencer said that competitions should be done in the classroom, or school, for the reason that
students must learn to be competitive to survive.
Because as people continue to compete with each other they will not settle for less, but rather
they will make them selves better to beat others. Having that system in the society, the society
will produce better people, people who always keep themselves developing and improving.
Same with the school. When the schools promote competitions inside the class, or even outside
the school competitions, they will be able to produce more competitive students, and for
spencer, the more they are competitive the more they can be better.
Aside from competitions, spencer promotes that what should be taught in school are practical
and life skills, more than merely factual and ideal. Spencer believes that the true essence of
school or education is when the students are able to use what they learn from school in real life
situations.
