How has the school system not noticed this?!?

There are a lot of good people in the school system, who are sincerely trying to do good, but at the top the agenda is programming students to do and think as the government wants. This is why so many people are unhappy in school. You might be interested in looking up Charlotte Iserbyt.

Yeah,that's what I have heard of/noticed as well.The entire point of school seems to turn us into factory/capitalist workers with no intelligence,curiosity or free will.Did you notice that teachers often give you lower grade if you do something right,but not the way they learned you,even though you way is better/same as theirs?This happenned to me quite a lot of times,and that convinced me of the true purpose of schools.Glad I'm not the only one who knows this.Also,this question might be dumb(90% that it is),but are you in any way related to Cliff Burton? XD

Oh yes, following directions is so highly valued for a reason. No, I don't know a Cliff. Nice to meet you. :-)

The school system is EXTREMELY outdated, because it was originally for preparing people to work in the factories.

Yes, exactly. :-)
