Says the mold. Schools are useless shit anyway you learn fuck all apart from how to speak, read, and argue and think and seeing as most people who all go to the same schools with the same programs never learnt it, I don't think schools have much of a part in it.
But this is precisely a failure of education. We don't pay teachers well so there's no incentive for good ones to stay.
Class sizes are too large so individuals can easily fall behind unnoticed. Or the opposite, talented kids get bored and aren't challenged because the class can only move at the pace of the slowest individual.
Too much of education is steeped in tradition and no attempts are made to make the syllabus relevant to the real world.
Schooling isn't tailored to the individual so you're forced to learn the way your teacher dictates when an alternative approach may suit you better.
Right, education has nothing to do with how smart or dumb we are.
I read this in a dumb voice in my head, it sounded kinda like goofy but like, lower pitch. So I'm gonna say you're wrong, and I'm the smarterest bye bye XoXo
