I really like how society provides libraries/internet - well you still have to spend some time on banal things like learning reading or filling in forms in writing to have access.
School is also useful to learn about mistakes or shitty things people did in the past so you don't do the same in your life. Without society you would not have access to great minds of the past which might be even more useful.
Unless you know you are kind of prodigy that without learning reading or writing you could build modern washing machine from raw materials available in your area.
My point is that school is just a baseline for living in a modern society.
If you by any chance live in a first world country maybe you should be ashamed of yourself. Maybe you should watch some documentary about how barely literate people struggle in 3rd world countries and how much of their life is wasted on meeting basic needs and they did not have time to attend the school or there was no school available at all.

- randomsearch 4y agoThey’re not saying “don’t educate yourself and take advantage of your privileges”, but “school as we know it sucks and I could have done a lot more with the time.” At least, that seems like the generous reading.
- adamnemecek 4y agoThat’s the correct reading.
