School did not help me learn to interact with people. School is what gave me many problems to begin with - bullies and even those who were not bullies were just regular people that I really had no desire to be around. I was so way ahead of these people that I become alienated and frustrated at an early age. The computer was a refuge away from this daily torment, for me.
Forced schooling is no substitute for a healthy society - something we have been lacking for quite a long time. We build up these societies where we live in estrangement from each other, where we live every day to basically deceive each other (impression management, a recent term coined in sociology), and where we are taught a narrow view of life and then build up all this social infrastructure around it and claim that anyone who opposes it is wrong.
Neither school or computers will be the ticket, but the narrow view of "one or the other" is hardly the answer.
