Gatto-Against School

Should we be going to school or being forced to go to school all these days; its usually " six classes a day, five days a week, nine months a year, for twelve years?" Is this really necessary for one to get a good education nowadays and become someone successful and have a whats considered a good life?...I think that to become an educated person you don't have to end up going to school for years and years to come. This country has brought us up thinking that for one to gain "success", we've got to go K-12 and then continue onto a college or university for us to become someone who will be appreciated and recognized by the community. Many examples of famous people come to mind to me: Lil Wayne, Benjamin Franklin, Abe Lincoln and many others who didn't go to school but still came out with an education and made something really great from their lives. I'm not stating that we should all dropout and find our own way of getting knowledge but if schools not for us and we can still move forward and gain a career that will provide for one's self our or family and give us a life that we'll enjoy. :D
