I think the purpose of going to school is to make children more intelligent, however sometimes it has the opposite effect. Schools want to provide as much information as they can. Unfortunately, many schools don’t have very well educated and passionate teachers who can pass along the information. Some schools only want to push children through, however there are also schools that do want to make their students very intelligent. The other purpose of school is to develop social skills. Children at school usually sit at desks close to each other so there is no possibility of not talking to each other. The school I went to was very bad at teaching students but they achieved their goal because most of the students passed the final exam.
