A life long institution

Interesting enough, recently a speaker referred to my school (though I am relating this to all school) as a learning institution. I noticed something. Institution. When did this word become synonymous with school? Isn’t an institution where they would stick those who are insane? Much like Arkham. Yes I just did make that reference that game is awesome. Anyway, when did this happen? Are we insane? Well we must be to attend as many years as we have. Maybe its one big experiment they’re running on us? See what happens when we collect people with different…quirks we’ll call them. Those whose quirks could be like the ones whose quest in life is to achieve high social status in school, those wanting to belong, etc. Let’s face it we all have them, our quirks. Now what genius decided that sticking us all together would be a good idea? It makes sense they call this a learning institution. We’re learning for life and everyone in life is insane. Some more than others but there you go. The world is crazy. Also disclaimer this is only for fun I did not honestly mean a word of this its just an interesting thing to think about.
