Why people go to school, college or university?

we are learning programming by our self so why don't we learn physics chemistry biology or math or anything else by ourself. we are going to college university of schools to learn these kinds of study but we know very limited knowledge by this... so we need to learn by ourselves by self learning . so we can learn many things we can learn many things as you expect.

Why can't we just go to school to enjoy ourselves, learn more and eventually get a degree and a good job all in the same timeline? From what I can see, you are implying that 'going to school/college to enjoy ourselves' and 'learning more things' are mutually exclusive sets of events, and that isn't really true. We can have the best of both worlds if we want to.

you go to school to learn how to learn by yourself. plus you get basic and advanced knowledge about stuff. how would you learn how to read and write if nobody teaches you how to do it?

in school we are taught more than just academic skills. we are taught how to carry ourselves around fellow students which will reflect in our lives generally. we are taught the right from the wrong. we are taught things that even most our parents are afraid of talking to us about. i mean schools are like a foundation... they determine to a large extent how we will be in future. and not to forget that there are people who cant leatn anythin unless its spoonfed to them. And everyone needs guidance in an area you are studying... even if you are a genius. And where else could you get this help other than from a qualified personnel i. e. a teacher, lecturer, academicians e.t.c

Well, most of the schools of South Asia doesn't teach anything about programming stuffs and South Asian people always wants to learn programming. Because they thinks that, programming knowledge will help them to make money. I think you live in South Asia (India or Bangladesh) that's why you asking this question.

All students are not like you.They need proper guidance and a platform for building their basic knowledge. Self teaching is not so easy. Only those who can motivate themselves can learn as many things as they want.

:( But if i talk about these kinds of students who goes to school or college to enjoy themselves not to learn something... although some of students goes to school college only for scoring good and be a good student at eyes of teachers in our region... but we are practical students .... we need a lab to work ... we need teachers for help... not for score better than anybody.....
