school is necessary

As much as I sometimes say that school can be annoying and unnecessary, I can’t truthfully say, or agree with at all, that we don’t need school. The only way society progresses is because of new knowledge, and is able to thrive because people are educated enough to keep up. If people didn’t learn mathematics or proper English, we wouldn’t be able to function is society and it wouldn’t be effective. In order to keep progressing, our society needs to keep gaining intelligence, which wouldn’t be possible if people weren’t being educated. Our society isn’t at a point that they can do this. Even if it was, everyone needs to know the basic knowledge that is taught in school. Although home-schooling could accomplish this, I believe the teamwork and social skills learned in real school is important an critical to learn how to cooperate and converse with others of your generation.
