I attend school regularly. Regularly enough to realize school produces completely incompetent, useless, mindless, egotistical, arrogant idiots.

Why?

I don't know how school used to be before 2000 but I suspect schools back then were better than schools now. No one can think for themselves and this isn't a surprise taking into consideration the way schools educate students.

Take math, for example, the modern way only teaches you to apply concepts, this is an ineffective way of teaching as one should understand the concept itself before applying it. This way of "learning" is shallow and will not give a complete understanding.

The core idea will always give you an upper hand in excelling because it enables you to understand things more deeply. Understanding things deeply is essential to be competent at anything. The problem is no one bothers to understand things properly because they are arrogant and think they know it all.

Not being able to think for yourself is only one of the issues school creates. There are many other individual problems but this problem leads to most problems school creates.

The entire idea of school is to teach students things necessary to manage in society. The idea of school is good, and the execution was also alright but school at this stage is unmanageable.

This is why society is failing, because of idiots that obey modern rules.

Sadly I still have many years to go.
