The modern school system is very effective at doing what it’s designed to do: create obedient workers and disinterested citizens for tax and manipulation purposes. It’s definitely designed to teach you useless information that’s not going to help you in the real world such as taking tests. Do you take tests working at most jobs? Absolutely not. There are so many other issues but it’s entirely designed to do what you are saying here. It’s not supposed to show you how to do basic things in life such as taking care of finances, a house, fixing things, problem solving and basic skills an adult needs.

It sounds like you would be interested in reading a brilliant man named John Taylor Gatto and his opinion on the destructive system that is modern schools. He was a teacher, named one of the best in the country, and quit to spread knowledge of how bad the education system is.
