"The Effects of the Elementary Schooling System on Student Leadership in Ontario What is the point of school? Many people never stop to consider this question. However, a moment's consideration will show that it is a profound question, and that there are many possible answers. For example, perhaps the point of school is to educate children, perhaps it is to keep them off the streets so that their parents can go to work, or perhaps it is to teach them skills that will later enable them to go to work in their turn, when they grow up."
