idk but whoever invented school is a dumb ass. WHAT THE HELL WAS HE/SHE THINKING!?!?!

the same person wh invented wasting time.

According to Wikipedia, schools have been around since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, but I suspect they have been around long before that. The Sumerians (3rd Millennium BC) had scribal schools, to train boys in the written language.
"Ur-Nammu (r. 2113-2095 BC) founded the 3rd Dynasty of Ur. In addition to being a successful military leader, he was also a social reformer and the originator of a law code that antedates that of the Babylonian king Hammurabi by about three centuries (see Hammurabi, Code of). Ur-Nammu’s son Shulgi (r. 2095-2047 BC) was a successful soldier, a skillful diplomat, and a patron of literature. During his reign the schools and academies of the kingdom flourished."

The Ancient Egyptians were off the mark around the same time:

Even the Hebrews seem to have had some sort of school system by 1200 BC
A. Demsky in W.W. Hallo ed., THE CONTEXT OF
SCRIPTURE, Volume One (Leiden, 1997) as follows: p. 363: "The Izbet Sartah
ostracon (ca. 1200) is worth special attention for it is the oldest
reduced twenty-two letter alphabet inscribed in the Proto-Canaanite
script. This beginner's exercise tablet, written from left to right, is
also peculiar in that some of the letters are transposed: the HETH
precedes the ZAYIN and the PE comes before the `AIN. "

Of course, these schools were elitist, with pupils drawn from the upper classes, and males heavily outweighing the numbers of females who were literate.

Universal literacy came much later.

Way, way long ago, almost lost in the mists of time, John School started the first learning center, named 'school' in his honor.

There were schools in ancient times, the Babylonians and the Greeks had schools. IT was a way to educate people with one instructor, especially for specialized training that didn't require one on one.

IM GONNA KILL THE INVENTOR OF SCHOOL TAKE A TIME PORTAL AND STAB HIS EYES OUT THEN COOK THEM AND PUT THEM BACK IN AND STAB THEM OUT AGAIN AND EAT THEM

no one really invented it technically. Everyone throughout time have had some sort of organized education whether it was through homeschooling or what not.

Way back in the day when people were educated by a hired educator or one of the caretakers.

Well he didn't invent "school" but this chappy is the father of public education as we now know it:

Horace Mann

Born May 4, 1796, in Franklin, Massachusetts, he was the father of American education, Horace Mann. He abandoned his rigid Calvinist upbringing for Unitarianism at age 23 and contrived to get his own education before becoming an educator himself. He created the first Board of Education in Massachusetts and recommended a comprehensive public school system, along secular lines, as a great cultural and national equalizer. Many thought this approach anti-Christian, but Mann wisely kept divisive doctrines outside and sound ethics inside the classroom.

i want to kill the people who invented school!!!!!!!!!!!!1

The Ancient Greeks had public schools and academies. Socrates was a teacher as well as a philosopher.

Ancient Persia, India and the Greeks had the first schools. The first book for a primary school was published in Iran in 1382.

(bba Silvestri opened first school for the deaf in Italy in Rome 1784. Samuel Heinicke establishes first oral school for the deaf in the world in Germany in 1755. Charles Michel Abbe del' Epee establishes first free school for the deaf in the world, Paris, France.)

2,400BC Babylonian baked clay tablets with arithmetic . There is a large body of mathematical tablets dating back to the old Babylonian period (1800 to 1500BC).

Pythagoras, who died about 500BC, founded the "ythagorean School of thinkers."They created mathematical ways of representing and analysing musical harmony, and theories explaining sight mechanically: thinking of light as an emission of particles travelling in straight lines between the eye and the object seen. Mathematics, experiment, theory, aesthetics and religious speculation were all part of the Pythagorean imagination. They established the relationship of harmonious sound between families of notes produced by striking metal bars of different lengths, and the numbers that relate the lengths to the notes.

There is some controversy regarding what is the world's oldest university between Takshashila, Nalanda and Al-Azhar University depending on the extent of this definition.

Students at Takshashila University, founded in Taxila, Pakistan (a part of ancient India at the time) from around the 7th century BC, were given academic titles after graduating from one of its many courses. Nalanda University, founded in Bihar, India from around the 5th century BC, also gave academic titles to its graduates, while also offering post-graduate courses. Al-Azhar University, founded in Cairo, Egypt in the 9th century, offered a variety of post-graduate degrees, and is usually regarded as the first full-fledged university.

The ancient cities of Takshashila, Nalanda, Vikramasila, and Kanchipura in ancient India were greatly reputed centres of learning in the east, with students from all over Asia. In particular, Nalanda was a famous center of Buddhist scholarship, and as such it attracted thousands of Buddhist scholars from China, East Asia, Central Asia and South-East Asia, while also attracting many students from Persia and the Middle East.

The awarding of academic titles was not a custom of other educational institutions at the time but ancient institutions of higher learning also existed in China (Yuelu Academy), Greece (the Academy), and Persia (Academy of Gundishapur)

The Academy, founded in 387 BC by the Greek philosopher Plato in the grove of Academos near Athens, taught its students philosophy, mathematics, and gymnastics, and is sometimes considered to resemble a university. Other Greek cities with notable educational institutions include Kos (the home of Hippocrates), which had a medical school, and Rhodes, which had philosophical schools. Another famous classical institution was the Museum and Library of Alexandria.

Institutions bearing a resemblance to the modern university also existed in Persia and the Islamic world prior to Al-Azhar University, most notably the Academy of Gundishapur.

God

We are all students. As we continue to invent school, we want to find ways to motivate ourselves to do many difficult things. Imagine having fun when things are difficult. If difficult things become fun, Imagine the joy of looking forward to life after death.

You are all inventing school as you respond to the question.

The Spanish Inquisition. That's how they tortured heathen kids back then

Some one every kid wants to kill

Everybody invented school. All of you did and continue to do so as you respond to this question.

Someone who didn't have to go, didn't care that other people might not want to go to school, and was an asshole for doing it.

The first school was a kinder garden (German for children's garden) by Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel.
