All throughout my k-12 education I always questioned why I had to go to school all year except summer‚ and especially why it had to be so early in the mornings. In the book “Rereading America” there is a passage titled “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto. In the passage Gatto asks “ Do we really need school?
