School
From RationalWiki
School is where you go to get your learn on.
"Schooled" is what you are when you're done being learned on, or when you've been embarrassed or shot down.
Schools are an important part of the American economy, because it's where we practice sitting at a desk doing pointless things for hours at the behest of an authority figure we dislike, which is vital training for all "white collar" employment.
Schools also give youth an opportunity to develop their social skills (buying drugs, pursuing sexual gratification, concealing firearms, plotting revenge, etc.). The lack of this opportunity is what causes many homeschooled children to wind up as backwards gits. Or maybe that's just from reading Conservapedia.
[edit] Conservapedia on School
The third sentence in the Conservapedia "School" article reads:
As of 1995 in the United States of America, 89% of children attend taxpayer-funded atheistic schools that censor classroom prayer.
