What is school for?

What is school for?

Judging from a meeting I am attending at the moment, it is to teach kids how to pass standardized tests.

This complaint is trite - you've heard it 10^6 times. But I'm feeling it in my gut so strongly right now that I must scream and typing this post is preferable to actually screaming in this civilized atmosphere.

So what is school for? It's a place for young people to have the opportunity to develop their personality, their skills, their talents with the guidance of skilled, caring adults.

Please comment - what is school for?
