Mass schooling DOES exactly what it was designed to do. And it does it VERY WELL. Here is a few points, not in order necessarily.

1) kill the natural love of learning; compare a toddler to a school kid

2) break kids into accepting authority from people they don't know or respect

3) mold them into believing their self-worth comes from outside, teachers, exams,..

Most importantly: stopping kids from thinking.

We serve the elite.
