There are other problems with schools, such as the model of teacher who already knows the answer, and student who must learn the material without changing any of it (no attempts to improve the ideas). Traditional knowledge has its place, but so does criticism and reasoned judgment and new ideas, and schools are not designed to facilitate the rationalist, liberal approach. If the role of a teacher was seen as helping the student in ways the student prefers, as if the student were a customer, it would drastically improve the classroom aspect of schools. There are also a wide variety of smaller problems. For example, many lessons focus on solutions to old problems without enough explanation of what the problem was or why it was important to people. For someone who doesn't understand the problem situation a solution attempts to address, that solution is uninteresting.
