Is there a point to school? 
reader5000: School consists of sitting in a lecture hall with 100 other students listening to a middle-aged lecturer talk about his interests for 50min, 3 times a week. Unless you aspire to be a good listener / note-taker, no, there is no actual point to school, unless both common sense and modern psychological learning theory are both horribly wrong.HOWEVER, when you get a degree what you are getting is a signal to potential employers that you are of roughly the average intelligence of other people with that degree. This signal is of varying importance in the real world.
