Do you trust the current educational system? I have controversies about it and when I give my point of view about it, people usually look at me like I'm crazy. My opinion: The system only wants submissive people, without the ability to question, dependent people and without freedom. The educational system in the country where I live causes me indignation, it is so sad to see how children go so apathetic to schools, where they will only spend 6 hours locked in 4 white walls listening to a lady speak, where they only have a short period of recreation, a place where they cannot give their ideas or express themselves because for them it means that they are insolent even if they are doing it in a respectful way. I know I can't force time, but I can't wait for my daughter to no longer attend that type of "education", which for the moment and due to certain circumstances I had to enroll her in one of those schools. She is on the afternoon shift (not by my decision) After school, we arrived home at night and when it was time to sleep she told me with resignation "Now every day will be like this, arriving at night, have dinner and sleep... and thus repeat the same thing from Monday to Friday". With her words I feel like they shook my head, and the thing is that one of the things I hate the most are monotonous and boring routines, those that take away your motivation and the desire to wake up every day. I promised her that it is only temporary, that my plans for her method of education are different, one in which she can be herself, one in which she feels comfortable, one in which she learns to give her opinion without fear, one in which May you be free and learn important things that truly serve you in life.
Do you trust the current educational system?
No, and I don't want my future kids to go through what I've been through, those school times are nothing but a waste of time, even torturing for any curious person; I'd be much happier sending them to hangout with different makers, and then they pick whatever they want to learn.
The goal of education is to learn how to solve problems and then provide value for others, and that is exactly what the schools fail to teach, they want to train you to be consumers and workers instead of creative makers.

I do.
It teaches basic skills like reading and writing. Once you get the basics down and you build a good morale and values system then how you learn is mostly irrelevant. The system doesn’t want only submissive people the system is trying to keep the populous from becoming too dumb.
Posts like this reminds me of this posh fantasy life that people get to pursue their passions and if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life. So okay if you play that out who is left to do the “dirty” jobs. Or the work that has to get done. Like being a farmer.
This quote here:
"Now every day will be like this, arriving at night, have dinner and sleep... and thus repeat the same thing from Monday to Friday“
This is exactly what life is as a farmer! Barely anytime to do anything. You wake you work hard eat and go to sleep.
Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do. The sooner you realize that the better off you will be.
