brief criticism of the education system

What is the purpose of school?

To prepare children for well-paid jobs?

Why must everybody do a highly paid job as opposed to what they want to do?

The first job I wanted to do was to be a street cleaner. If I want to do that, why must I be forced to attend drama, art, science and more?

What if I want to be a programmer, highly paid? Again, why must I be made to attend these classes?

Are these classes so important that the government must intervene to make me do these classes as opposed to doing or learning my passions?

There is basically no excuse for this absurd government intervention. It's extremely authoritarian, and it doesn't care about kids' passions, personalities, talents, intelligence level — none of it.

You simply do what you are told, when you are told, and you do the same as everyone else for huge spans of time throughout your childhood.

Awful. Abuse. Bound to erode human society.
