What is a school?

That is a good question.
What is a school?

When I was growing up, I thought I knew.


I don't know any more.

Recently, I drove 20 miles an hour through a School zone. The only thing like a school in the area was a Day Care center. Is a Day Care Center a school?

My kids went to Catholic school. At least once a week they went into the main Church building for services. When I go there on Sundays, is it a school?

What about someone that Home Schools their children?
What if two familys work together. One family teaches math and the other english?

I did that on purpose

It seems like the question of What is a School is important enough for it's own topic.



To me:
A school is:
A government run (with an 'ISD in the name)
school
clearly labeled with School Zones signs
teaching kids through 12th grade.

Not included
Universities (Not posted if State supported)
Trade Schools
Private Schools (they would have to post 30.06 signs.)
Day Care centers
Continuing Education centers
