> it's all telling people solutions to problems they don't have yet

I think this applies more so to adults who've had their childhood curiosity crushed.

Children are naturally curious. The problem with the educational system is that we want to apply the same lowest common denominator formula to most kids in most schools.

If you let kids do a little bit of what they actually want, you'd have chaos with a ratio of 20-30 kids to a single adult. That's what makes school suck - the only way to make school work is to crush children's natural urges and make them sit and be quiet.

This works well for producing obedient workers to send off to spend their life in factories.

Yuck, we don't even need that many factory workers anymore, so now we're sending everyone to do more schooling, to work in paper-pushing factories called corporate America. It's all quite unfortunate.
