    Yup. Because schools primarily serve to create workers. Actual education is merely permitted when it does not interfere with the main aim of creating workers

      It’s an industrial era system in the 21st century. What could possibly go wrong right?

      I don’t think teachers are thinking about creating workers. They just apply the way they were raised.

        But applying without thinking doesn’t mean that it doesn’t serve a purpose, it just means they don’t know what the purpose is
