      I bet all of those can be learned without formal school structure. People have learned all sorts of professions by themselves for ages and it's could be easier than ever with modern technology.

      You know what data says. Most people with higher education say they would rather not go to a university if they decided they wanted to learn something else.

        I look forward to your society of self taught engineers and their collapsing buildings. What's wrong with the formal structure?

          I say much about other fields but many of the best software engineers are self-taught.

          The problem with formal structure is power hierarchies, something you'd want to avoid when possible.

          Either way abolishing school and abolishing universities are different questions. Schools are much more oppressive, but arguably someone needs to look for the kids when parents are at work and a child unlikely to be able to teach themselves counting as opposed to an adult who can learn any academic discipline by themselves with access to internet.
