They have a point. Just because there's a lot of very good teachers bad at their job (molding the minds of today into the exploited masses of tomorrow) doesn't make the institution any better. There's so much bullshit to wade through as a teacher, it's very difficult to actually, y'know, teach.
lolok, lemme just accuse you of arguing in bad faith real quick
If you think an education system in post-revolution society looks anything like the modern American system, you'll have a counterrevolution in a generation. The structure of American education is anti-scientific, anti-class consciousness, and anti-humanist. Or are we going to have a bunch of kids in a row lectured to by overworked and often reactionary teachers under the bootheel of a bloated administrative apparatus teaching their charge to be a good industrial worker as decided on by a committee in Texas entirely staffed by fascists?
The OP's thesis is that school is totalitarian, presumably to propagandize people, and teachers are class traitors because of their participation in it. Not that school is a thing we can destroy right now.
If we did, that'd be fine, though. Revolutionary schools like the kind you see in protest movements with a large contingent of TAs and teachers are absolutely and incontrovertibly superior, if only because they are led by the workers and not the owners. (Meaning, led by the workers toward suppression of the owners in society).
