An institution set up in the USA in order to train industrial workers by teaching people not to think for themselves and lowering their confidence in their own abilities and expectations of their futures. By implying a sense of duty and attacking individual interests and forcing a generalized curriculum that attempts to destroy the individual, people are trained not to think, given a feeling that they need to work under someone to succeed, and mainly keeping American economy and society functioning like a machine with the people as its parts.
If you come on to Urban Dictionary to bash school, you need to go back to school and listen to what everyone says. After all, everyone knows that people who drop out of school are losers who do not realize that challenging the social order in a twisted society will get you no where.

Going to school against your will has the equivalent life-shortening effect of smoking 94,254 cigarettes. 8 hours a day times 180 days a year times 60 minutes divided by 11 minutes lost per cigarette. This calculation doesn't take into account homework, so the number of cigarettes would be even higher.
One valuable thing I learned from school is to never have children so they won't have to go through what I did.
