Why no human should ever go to school

Recently, I had the opportunity to witness the obsession of parents about sending their children to school.I was at one of my neighbor's house to attend an occasion.The neighbor's son who loved me and my presence was not in a mood to go to school.He probably thought i would come to his rescue,but when I didn't,he started nagging in front of his father.The boy's father, being a worthy gentleman, politely told his son not to make such "stupid" demands.But the boy was not a kid to get bowled out so easily.He deliberately started his delaying tactics to mentally torture the opposition.Inevitably, a heated quarrel broke out soon after.After a quick exchange of fire, his father assumed that there was no way of making truce with the foe and as a result, he dropped a nuclear-headed slap on the boy's cheek.The boy who clearly understood that he magnitude of anger that his father had reached,waved the white flag and sobbed away.All this time I sat in the sofa watching the drama (though I later regretted not having brought a packet of popcorn).

Most of us, in our childhood have experienced similar situations.
