After school there are no rules, so what you are suggesting is making a no rules society before people are ready for no rules.

Just because there are no rules in school does not mean there is no order in society.

Even social animal groups have a certain set of order. That's just the nature of social animals and is the nature of humans.

So what would happen if a school removed the rules? Those who are future-looking would not change much. They still want to do what it takes to graduate. (I am assuming that would not change) There would be some that would completely go nuts and never go to class, but then they wouldn't graduate.

Rules in school serve a couple purposes. 1) To create a sense of safety for students trying to study there and 2) to make short term restrictions to ensure the long term goal of graduation. Students are short-sighted, so rules are needed.
