School has just become the 'norm' so people judge other forms of education against it instead of thinking out the issues... nice post. I'm still unsure what you were doing in a field in a wheelbarrow - I think I must have missed something or you've taken up a most unusual hobby? and how many times were we told “you’re not here to socialise” when we attemped to speak to a fellow pupil in class?

My arguement has always been similar to yours but to add to that, in the playground situation, you cannot get away from people you don't like, the very people that as an adult, you would *choose* to stay away from. School removes your choices and freedoms, and does not cater for the many personalities of the human race, nor can it ever do so. I also have to agree with Clare entirely.
