How much social etiquette do you really learn at school, though? Holding doors open for others is certainly something I associate more with being taught by my parents and grandparents than teachers. Conversely, one could present a reasonable counter-argument that school has a deleterious effect on many children's social and emotional development. I sometimes lament the fact that my own high schooling occurred before widespread adoption of the internet; it seems to me that alienated or neurotic adolescents have a much better chance nowadays of meeting others with similar temperament or inclinations by going online than was possible for them in the mid-90s.
