NO, do not go to a baseball school unless you are going to work baseball.

Rules can be gotten from boards, books and cases I think.
Totally disagree. You can read all you want and there is no guarantee the bits and pieces you pick up on a board is always accurate.

You need to attend rules clinics. This is where you get the proper interpretations as not EVERYTHING is in a straight black and white printed format.
