I'd agree that heavy reforms are needed, but my issue is that I struggle to understand how a new school system would be that much radically different from the current one so as to necessitate demolishing the current system and building an entirely new one.
I don't really disagree with any of this, although I am confused about the tone of your last line. What is a school if not a centralized place designed for teaching and learning?
Again, I'm not trying to defend the modern school system, I'm just interested in learning about what kinds of alternatives are being proposed.
also sorry i just got high for the night so i probably got a lot less coherent out of nowhere
lol, you were fine up until the second paragraph.
But again, I like your ideas. I'd also add that a better school system would put more focus on abstract thinking concepts and problem solving, rather than shit that will show up on standardized tests. Also more discussions and less rote memorization. Emphasis should be placed on the thought process and not necessarily what the correct answer is. I also think letter grades should be abolished and subjects should just be pass/fail.
But yes, to go back to my original issue, I would argue that all this would count as reforms of the current system and not an abolishment.
