 We are social creatures that’s the one reason we will still have schools. 
 It would be great if schools would embrace the social aspect instead of survival in a large group competing against each other.

 
 In theory..  but school most often fails to provide a safe and quality social environment. In fact, often achieves the opposite. Putting children into a class of 30 kids all the same age does not even adequately "socialise" or prepare them for life in the real world.
