I was told that after I got out of school I'd understand why it was necessary. I uh, still completely hate American schools and how they're structured and have no clue why they work the way they do.

Forcible social interaction & increased immunity via spread of germs.

Also they occasionally teach you stuff.

But there are so many better ways it could be done.

The thing is, once you have kids of your own, you'll understand the #1 reason for schools: state funded daycare so parents can go to work.

I'm never having kids and one of the items on the list (among many, many other higher priority ones) is how miserable the school system is.
