The House System: Worst Educational Avenue in Existence?

I think so.

as it stereotypes then yes I agree but in the case that it encourages team building on that I agree with but now im totally confussed lol I am of two minds about it lol

It is rather horrible.

Edit: tigress, do you think Voldemort would have become a power mad mass murderer if he had been in Ravenclaw? No... the house system causes more problems than it has benefits.

I agree.

I wasnt disagreeing hun I was looking at both sides of things but now I totally agree with you on that point, I thought you meant in general hun sorry I didnt realise you meant specifically Hogwarts as far as hogwarts goes the house system is totally wrong

The House system is just a piece of crap. It promotes racism, sexism and prejudice just because a silly talking hat told them. Gryffindors are favored, Ravenclaws are ignored, Hugglepuffs are ridiculed and the Slytherins are treated like dirt. Completely insane. I'm surprise Hermoine isn't smart enough to realize this.

Im sure they will if not already the number of fics ive read where harry wants the system abolishing is unreal it makes sense totally the sorting hat is off his head in more ways than one lol

I like it.If schools were to be like that which some of them are aready then it is fine with me.Also I may be wrong about this but the school in England has houses at there boarding school I think.
So it is a comman thing that already exist adn I do not find any stereotyes in the houses.JM 🙂

The House system causes problems in real life as well.

"My house is better than yours so in your face...LOSER"
