I believe much of elementary and high school is indeed ( or should be) exactly that. Read the book “All I Ever Really Needed To Know I Learned In Kindergarten”.----000----

Mongo thinks schools are to teach you many things. Some things you need to know when you are an adult and some things pass through your ears without stopping in your brain. Mongo thinks it is up to a child to know which is which.
Mongo wishes he had more chances to go to school.
Mongo also thinks school is not only for kids. Mongo is an adult and he likes to learn things. Mongo is not very smart but Mongo knows he does not know a lot.

Well, the government forces parents to send their children to school, so they can be good workers after they finished school, and pay a lot of taxmoney.
I never was the one that would learn in school, I wanted to learn by discovering, staying young forever, but I had no choise.
What use is it to force children to learn things they don't want to know?
Why do they have to study history or algebra, when they want to become a carpenter?
If it was my choice, I would have a school where children between 4-18 where welcome, but the children could choose what they wanted to learn, the coming weeks.
You have to inspire their curiosity forcing is the wrong way.
It's the same with churches. Parents force their children what to believe, how can one force a religion? More and more we see that churches are open but while there is space for about 1000 people, their are maybe 50 old people inside. Churches are closing and demolished or used for something else. In my village there is a building that used to be a church, but now it's a theatre.

I started out in one of the last one room schools. 8 grades, 25 or so kids. I was the only first grader. Our teachers taught us as much as they could about the world, history, English, math, reading, writing, science,government,geography...stuff we would actually use in life. They knew 8 grades might be all the higher ed some kids got, especially farm boys. At 13 they were doing a man's work. Girls a womans.
Parents taught us as much as they could. The practical stuff and more. Religion, science, philosophy, law, medical, art, mechanics, cooking, cleaning. We learned everywhere we turned. From every adult we knew.
High school was for life needs. Either into a college for a white collar job, or trades for blue.
We had dress codes cause this is what you wore to work. We had rules, you obey rules at work and in society. If you weren't going on to school, school taught you some employment skills...shop classes, Ag, home ec.
Today's schools teach...??
Dress however cause you will expect casual Friday, and M-Thr. Talk back to teachers cause you will know more than the boss. Expect a reward for showing up. Demand high wages, short hours and 5 weeks paid vacation. Don't worry if you can pass that class, we dont fail anymore because it may cause mental stress..here is an E for effort. Oops..sorry, no grades at all anymore.
Is it any wonder why kids are walking around in a confused daze, changing jobs like underwear? Why they think the Civil War was around 1960? Why they expect everything to be easy or handed to them?

I sent my kids to school because it was expected by society. While they were there, I expected them to learn and not waste anyone's time. Whatever they want to do afterwards was up to them but they knew that if they didn't learn, they would stay in school until they did. That was Mom's rules and no one messed with Mom's rules.Parents taught us as much as they could. The practical stuff and more.
