Grammar

Only recevier, not giver

( https://youtu.be/w0hBPamaIfg?t=5m53s )

According to that, a student's remark that I go to school is grammatical, but a teacher's remark that I go to school is ungrammatical : a teacher should say only that I go to a school or the schoo. So that helped me come up with a question. If I am the mother of a student, should I say that I go to school as a student's remark or that I go to a(the) school is possible? Parents is also a receiver, not a giver?

I have no words to thank you, an angel, enough.

It's not a problem of whether a giver or a receiver but dependent on contexts.

No, that is the difference.

There's something I want to ask additionally and finally.
In spite of me being a receiver who is a student, can I say as follows?

Right. You went to the school building, not to go to classes, but to meet a friend.
