A place a child or teenager is sent to learn skills that are as useful as they choose to make them later on in life. It is highly useful, but incredibly underappreciated by the majority of those of school age,
particularly Americans. It is also a place where these same students will be told repeatedly that 'These are the best days of your life.' They will be told that until they are old enough to realize that nobody who wasn't rich, brilliant, or an
exceptional athlete in a highly competitive school would EVER go back to their high school years given the
opportunity.
