It's all about the industrial complex design, during the industrial revolution. Kids are supposed to sit in rows, show up to school on time, so they can fit in easily in the factories when they come of age. Also since child labor, was abolished, that means parents who work at factories have to drop their kids of at 0745 School time, so they can catch the buggy / walk to the factory. Once you take the work element, out you'll notice no kids needs to spend 8-10 hours at school. But now since our 'work' is no longer mechanical but more 'conceptual' we've to make school only places to socialize.
