School is a place for kids to be put together to gain the experience of being around large numbers of their peers and discovering the way to behave properly. That cannot be taught from a book. That cannot be taught with one on one interaction. That can only be taught by dropping a child into the middle of the situation, giving some guidance, and hoping he or she gets it, and plays nice. But School phobia has been found to occur more frequently during major changes in children‘s lives such as entrance to kindergarten or the changes from elementary to middle school.
