A good fun alternative to life, sex, career, friends, money, and power. All of these things are just distractions trying to pull you away from education.
student 1: I soooo got an A on the test by pulling an all nighter. Doing all that studying outside of school really paid off.
student 2: Yeh that's awesome! It's kind of like being great at hacky sack in terms of not getting laid.
The world 'school' can be used to describe an important place that includes (but is not limited to) learning and may contain lots of books, (not to be confused with a library) but you don't care what happens in/to it.
Technically,the place for child education,but realistically,the place where kids are being blackmailed into admitting their sexual tendencies and whatnot,because the penalty is that otherwise,the teachers will secretly put them into the media,and the kids will know what is really happening when they read books about crime,listen to songs with deep lyrics,etc.
