That isn't true, because your supposed to be learning while at school. A person is entirely capble of studying and listening to a teacher give a lecture, without talking to people around them.
Sure it is... students are CAPABLE of not socializing... but it's a natural tendency to want to be social.
Quote:
"Can I borrow a pencil" and the occasional oral book report that a person could just skip if they dont mind the bad grade, isn't exactly pushing people to be great at socalizing.
There is lunch period, and time in class where socializing occurs. And When I talk about socializing, I don't just mean communication. Even simply be around people, knowing how to act and what's appropriate is all part of being social.

In fact, if you go to public school you would notice that most people are friends and talk to, the people who live by them. The people living near you are probably your friends already, and you hang out after school. So seeing them in school and talking a bit, doesn't add anything.
Not completely true... out of my ring of 30 someodd close friends at school only one lives close... and maybe 2 or 3 passed my house on the way to school and back.
Quote:
As for the amount of people at the school, that makes no difference. That is like saying walking down a crowded street causes you to become better at socalizing.
That's a terrible comparison! Being home, only with parents and sibling will deficit your social ability more so than spending 6 ours a day interacting with teachers and other students... You seem to be really defensive or something...
Quote:
In fact, the more classes you go to, and the more people you see the more they become strangers.
That doesn't even make sense.
Quote:
At some point your no longer friends with your classmates because you don't know any of them, and there is no socalizing taking place at all.
No offence, but this is terrible reasoning. Where's the logic? I've gone through highschool... I know how it works. I have many close knit relationships with friends and teachers. I'm sorry but you aren't making sense to me... if either you or someone else could expand on what you're trying to say. 'Cause to me it sounds like you're saying being around people makes you less social. Human beings are the number one ingredient for creating your identity and social life... I have no idea where you're coming from.
