I don't think we have to start with any school or tradition. many people start with "Intro To Buddhism" books, or with university classes on the subject. Practicing the basics, the Eightfold Path, mindfullness, compassion doesn't require adherence to a particular tradition. If one wants to deepen one's understanding, or one's practice, then one needs to choose a school. One can research the different schools and decide which is the best fit.
