Does school prepare us for the real world​

This is a very easy question and “yes” it definitely does, but not in the way most people think it might…

What I mean by this is that most people think the way school prepares us for the real world is by teaching us subjects. If that were true, then why not have one kid in one class?

The real answer is that it prepares us to be able to work with others. This is the reason why a class consists of many kids, not one.
Think about it, the real world is filled with people that you are going to have to work with every day. School is basically a miniature version of that.
