text: School can be a lot more than just educational reasons. This can be a place where you meet your friends that end up being your life long best friend or even someone who you eventually start a life with somewhere along the future. These best friends you make can even be your bridesmaid/groom at the wedding. Yes, it may be a bit of a stretch but it's very likely compared to just sitting at home in front of a laptop all day. Social interaction is something very important to every human being. Starting from an early age opens up a whole lot of oppertunities. For example, there are going to be jobs where all you do is interact with costomers and if you are not strong in that mindset, there is a good chance that things will only be going downhill from there. At home, there is almost no source of interaction with people unless it's people that you are already familliar with, whether it mom, dad, siblings, or even the dog. These people who suddenly go out into the world to look for jobs or even go to college is gonna have a hard time socializng with other people becuase they aren't used to it. Another big thing is that, at school there are plenty more oppertunities to join clubs and get into more volunteer activities that will help with college admssion or even day to day life.
