School can be very restrictive to people in many ways. One major limitation are the amount of people we meet. Most of our friends and acquaintances will be from only the school and so it can restrict one form meeting others and expanding their social life. One also to follow rules and do things that he/she may not be interested in. Many classes will teach things that students will never pursue or even need to use ever again.  Another problem, and perhaps the biggest, is the need to blend in, as to not be ostracized by others. In order to be part of this world, one has to receive a education, which means doing certain things he/she may not want to participate in. Finally, school also restrict on what others want to do, but it conflicts with the schedule.
