Our education system doesn’t look much different today than in the 1900s. We are kept in classrooms with others of the same age and socio-economic background. Our society is based on people being able to have things customized. Coffee is prepared to our specifications, but my education is exactly the same as my peers. We are told where to be when to be there, what to memorize, and how to answer. Schools are unnecessarily turning out factory workers. Creative problem solving, a skill most prized by employers, is not only discouraged in school but is often considered disruptive.
