Social learning can happen outside school in sports or other hobby related activities. High school is actually quite a weird place to learn social skills.
Not every kid is going to be a part of sports and hobbies clubs. A lot of us never had any friends outside of school.
We need some kind of institution to facilitate social interactions between children. Till date that has been the function of schools.
Moving away from this model, without proper deliberation, is sure to cause problems afterwards. And then we’ll all look back and ask why the world’s feeling more isolated than ever.
Yes, but the 5-6 hours you spend within a school alongside 3-4 hours you can spend on sports and hobbies probably out-competes just sports and hobbies.
