I am a little confused about when to use the possessive for the word "school". I am going to make up an example about it below.
(ex) John usually gets a lot of math homework from the learning center but not much from school (or from his school).
Because I am not a native English speaker, I cannot figure out whether or not you need "his" written in red? Please help me. Thanks a lot.
from your school or from school

Re: from your school or from school
No, the possessive pronoun is not normally needed when, as here, the school is one attended by the subject/referent.
