As a former teacher of ten years, I completely agree that school is a waste of time, money and resources. School is a baby sitting service that doubles as an "education". The whole system is flawed. No one wants to be there. The kids hate it, the teachers can love the job, but usually hate the grind, and the administrators are there to stay out of the classroom and not get blamed for anything. Kids go to school so parents can go to work. That is the system. If there is no school, what happens to the kids? Most adults prefer working to being around their kids all day, just ask a home schooling mom with multiple kids. She stays home not because it is easy, but because it is good for the kids. The author of the article completely misses the issue. Kids don't get the best resources in our system. They get bare minimum. He recommends some special kind of school and way of learning. But, this won't happen because it would require re-training, re-designing, and other costs that people just don't want to spend on other people's kids.
