I'm not sure how this makes since with "classroom" education far predating the modern era. See English boarding school stories or any number US girl coming-of-age stories. Certainly none of them justify the idea that education's purpose is to support two income families. With that, I think you'd find that most leaders of politics and industry had some manner of classroom education. Homeschooling is not a common practice among the elite. It may still serve the purpose of "habituating chimps into highly unnatural behavior" but if so, it's behavior that is so commonplace as to be indistinguishable from "natural" behavior. So I'm not sure how we can ascribe all these negative objectives to the Education System as few better methods have come along and found wide acceptance. There's the Waldorfs and the Montessoris and the variety of homeschool co-ops of course, but they are serve a pretty small percentage of students worldwide.
