Conspiracy theories aside,
And if we also put aside the original purpose of schools-
which was to raise obedient citizens who would be willing to go and die in a war
That has nothing to do with them
(and we’re putting this aside under the assumption that modern day policymakers have no clue about the origins of the school)
The thing with the school system is that it needs to prepare millions (in most cases) of children for real life
To be productive members of society.
Because modern society is based on employer-employee relationships,
this is what schools prepare you for.
It’s a top-down, one-size-fits-all system
And those have to cater to the lowest common denominator.
If you want to learn to invest and make your own income,
You’ll have to do that outside the education system.
Hope that helps
Jon
