A school's purpose should be a place for education. I agree, education comes from many sources: school is one of these sources. The two may not be synonymous, but they're certainly related. They're directly related. Now, schools (referring to colleges and universities) are thought of as either places to learn just enough to obtain a degree, or to better one's self in an area where he/she wishes to pursue a career (my case, for example).
Now, bettering yourself is fine. But education is the primary purpose. The whole idea about school being an "experience" where you "socialize" and "find yourself" came about when people got lazy, frankly. School should not be a place to make friends. Ever. It can be a place where you happen to meet other people, later continuing a friendship that doesn't associate itself with one's schooling, but the two should never, ever, EVER be interrelated. It's unfortunate that it's become that way today. Most kids just don't care anymore.
