I heard from a mate a few years ago that supposedly, school is there to get people to socialize, to find out if they are a leader, or a follower, to give you some direction as to what you want to do. It is all set up to get us to make friends and learn how life works, not to be taught things.
I don't really believe what my friend told me (it was years ago, and thought he was just talking nonesense as per usual) as the details are very hazy as to what he said exactly.

I truely think that schooling does educate us and make us smarter, if we were smart to begin with and didn't need to be taught anything, we couldn't read, write or talk along with many other things we take for granted everyday
