Answer:

School is also an important institution for socialization. It is where children learn to be citizens and community members as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

We tend to think of the education of children as a very individual and practical process where the student acquires academic knowledge and basic life skills, but it is also an important arena for socializing children to the conventional rules of society, beyond just the rules of their close and intimate family. In schools children are usually subject to rules and regulations that help to teach them how to behave in society: they have to be on time, they have to listen to the authorities at the school, and they cannot act or speak in any way that offends other students or staff. It is thus an important institution for socializing children to the status quo in a country.
