The educational function of the school is to train people, and the school is a place to train people. Compared with social education and family education, the main difference of school education lies in its particularity. The particularity of school education is mainly manifested in the single-mindedness of tasks. The only mission of the school is to cultivate people, and other tasks are realized around cultivating people. There are special educators-teachers in school education, who have undergone strict selection and special training. Such educators are not only knowledgeable and virtuous, but also know the laws of education and master effective educational methods. School education also has special teaching equipment and special educational means. All these fully ensure the effectiveness of school education. ,

2. Rigidity of organization

Education is characterized by purposeful, organized and planned influence on people. School education embodies the characteristics of education. The purpose and planning of school education are embodied in strict organization. School education is institutionalized education. School education has a strict organizational structure and system. From a macro perspective, schools have various institutional structures; From the microscopic point of view, the school has specialized leadership positions and educational and teaching organizations, specialized institutions engaged in ideological and political, teaching, general affairs and logistics, and cultural and sports activities, and a series of strict educational and teaching systems, which are not available in social education and family education.

3. Comprehensive role

The role of school education in human development is comprehensive. The influence of social education and family education on people's growth is somewhat accidental, and the scope of influence is often concentrated in some aspects. School education is an activity to cultivate people in an all-round way. It should not only care about the growth of the educated's knowledge and intelligence, but also care about the formation of students' ideological and moral character and the healthy growth of the educated. It is the unique duty of school education to cultivate and shape all-round and complete social people. And this responsibility can only be borne by school education.

4. Systematic content

In order to meet the needs of cultivating people in a comprehensive and complete society, the content of school education pays special attention to internal continuity and systematicness. Social education and family education are generally fragmented in educational content. Even if there is a planned social education, it is often staged, and its knowledge is fragmented as a whole. School education not only pays attention to the knowledge system, but also conforms to the cognitive law. So education is systematic and complete. The integrity and systematicness of educational content is an important feature of school education.

5, the effectiveness of the means

The school has complete educational facilities and special teaching equipment for education, such as audio-visual teaching AIDS, video recording and other visual AIDS, and experimental practice bases. These are all effective means of school education. These are all indispensable material conditions to ensure the smooth progress of teaching, which cannot be fully provided by social education and family education.

6. Stability of form

The form of school education is relatively stable. There are stable educational places, stable educators, stable educational objects, stable educational contents and stable educational order. This stability of school education is more conducive to personal development. Of course, stability is relative and needs corresponding reform and change. Stability is not rigid. If we regard relative stability as a kind of rut and rigidity, it will inevitably go to the opposite side.
