text: One of the main characteristics of public schooling is how students are able to communicate with each other on a daily basis. In school, students are able to form friendships with their peers and bond with their teachers; these types of people in school could be what makes school exciting and something to look forward to for students. This is one of the reasons students are inclined to come to school everyday. At least for me, one of the reasons why I enjoy attending school is because I get to see my friends. Due to homework and other extracurricular activities, school is the main place where I get to catch up with my friends; it is what makes going to school more interesting. Having friends at school can allow students to work together on the same assignments or school projects. Team based learning allows for all students to contribute to one task and work together in a way that will result in a good grade.
