All true, but aside from risk, school has little relationship to modern workplaces. The public school system was designed to squirt out interchangeable cogs for the regimented institutionalized factory / sweatshop workplace with the ability to act as cannon fodder as military industrial complex profits dictate. That workplace is dead in this country other than blue collar style criminality (WRT entering for-profit prisons). There is the interesting analogy of high school study hall vs open office concept. Nothing ever got done in study hall other than goofing around and socializing. Real job (aka not an open office) of a higher social status are more like the silent study tanks at uni or studying at home (office job as opposed to open office)
