In this case, part of the problem is not with the concept of schools but certainly with the way school is done. The one-size-fits-all, teacher lectures while students listen traditional methodology doesn't work very well.

it does work for some students very well, and it works with some topics better than others. but school is not like this anyway, at least it shouldnt be. certainly the school my kids go to is not. but to make school broader and more educational takes resources and time to educate teachers, give them time with students, etc.

Since education is the responsibility of the parents, it's none of your damned business what they teach or don't teach!

my fellow citizens are my business. not to indoctrinate, or control, or censor, but to ensure they have the things they need. that includes education and skills.

how ? by recognising that some kids have been educated appalingly, that they fail in numerous areas ? what will the response of employers be to that ? this destines a lot of people to poverty and failure because they will not, despite the best intentions of parents, have the skills to survive.
