From a Utilitarian's point of view you should only go to school if the benefits of going to school outweigh the costs of going to school. They would say you shouldnt go to school just because you want to go to school or not go to school if you dont want to, but instead they would say you should go to school because the benefits outweigh the costs of going to school, or you shouldn't go to school because the costs outweigh the benefits of going to school. And eventhough students tend to complain a lot about school they probably wouldn't be happy without it like they think they would be. And more importantly school sets the stage for our future.
The one major objection that a Utilitarian poit of view would have toward school would be the school fees. Parents put a lot of time in raising the money that we use for school up, and they might not necessarily be happy with spending that much money for school. In fact it might make them unhappy that they have to send so much of their hard earned money towards an education for their kids. So from a Utilitarian point of view school might not be worth it from a dollar value point of view because it is making parents unhappy to spend so much money. So they might argue that students should in fact drop out of school so that their parents will be more happy because they arent spending so much money eventhough in fact school might still be worth what it costs.
