This study refers to one of the basic paradigms of holistically understood modern science – the system approach. The article presents my own research experiences concerning youth, school and other elements of the educational environment. It indicates the significance of the research on youth for pedagogy and other social sciences and the role of various elements of the educational environment, including school, in forming the identity of young people. Presented against the background of the results of my own quantitative and qualitative research (life orientations of young people, choice of ideals, choice of life path, importancen attributed to different elements of the educational environment in the formation of knowledge about themselves and the world) is the social isolation of youth and school. It is indicated that the essence of education lies in mutual relations between different systems (not only between youth and school), flows of values, emotions, information, energy, only then the proper mechanism of the process of education can be seen.
