If there is one thing many people can relate to, it's the experience of going to school. School is an important and critical time for kids and young adults. Kids start going to school when they are young and they don't leave until they are at least 17 or 18, even older if they choose to go to university or college. School isn't only for becoming book-smart, but it also teaches kids fundamental socialization skills and hands-on skills, too. Overall, everyone knows that it is cool to go to school.

Throughout the years, going to school has changed a lot. Technology is prevalent in schools these days. Every kid has a computer to type on, a phone to distract them, and a lot of their work is done and handed in online. Back in the day, everything was done on paper. Work was handwritten, people had to take a class to learn how to type, kids learned how to write in cursive, and classes like home economics and blacksmithing were taken. It is interesting to see what kids in school used to learn.
