School keeps the child from family and community for much of the waking day, segregating him or her with others of the same age. The models for behavior and maturity then orient toward the peer group. Even when it is not an overt aim, schools lean toward categorization. Every student quickly recognizes they are ranked by criteria such as high test scores and acquiescent behavior.
