It's also childcare for parents. You sound like a bad teacher

That's why im giving them some benefit, but either way, this is a horrible opinion that feels written by someone who can't grasp that school isn't just about education.

just to clarify, I actually love my job. You can love a job and be good at it while also acknowledging that, systemically, it shouldn't exist.

Your students must be incredibly incompetent... probably the teacher's fault, don't you think?

Now see, if you'd studied history, you'd know that's not how or why schools came to be and why they exist today. Now quit pretending to be a teacher and play one of those educational games you like so much.

School is a place where you learn how to learn stuff. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't know how to learn stuff, libraries and internet won't teach you anything. If every parent was a brilliant professional teacher with thousands of hours to invest in their kids that would be awesome. Unfortunately, most parents struggle even with simple math.

most parents struggle with simple math...even though they went to school to learn it. Seems like a healthy system. No complete systemic failures here.

Libraries and the internet are great if you already know what you're looking for. And have the pre requisite skills needed to properly access those resources. Taking that into account I wonder what the role of a good teacher could be? And how many non trained educators (parents) have the skills to be a good teacher?

the high school I went to had this system where teachers of a given department shared an office space, and there was always at least one teacher in that room at any time. That way, if students ever had any questions or wanted to chat about their coursework, they could always do so. I feel like a similar system could be implemented in libraries to great effect.

What did the kids do before high school? How did they determine what course work they should be doing? What level is appropriate?

I think we severely underestimate what kids can accomplish with even minimal guidance. I remember what it was like to be a kid, and I'm pretty confident that if my folks had dropped me off at a library instead of school and said "go learn something useful and tell us about it over dinner" I'd have been much better off.

I would not be surprised if that would work with *some* kids in an ideal world where everything works out how it should. School is also daycare and socializing as well. People would want it just for that alone even if they just did whatever all day.

So what, kids should just never learn anything? No need to learn about math, history, language, physics ect.? We should just trust them in spending hours every day to learn it? Because they will totally not spend it doing anything else right? Or is it the parents that needs to do it? As in the parents that are spending all day working to pay bills? They also need to spend all day after work to teach them? This is just such a dumb idea, and all your points are just, they can learn about it in a library or the internet, like that is going to somehow make them do it.

And how would the kids be able to do more or less anything? If they never go to school, then unless the parents teach them, then they won't be able to read and write, which would make reading up on things hard. Plus later in life if they never got to learn eg English and math, then they won't be able to do a lot of things, like get a job. Also if schools should get abolished, then what about other types of education, like for a career? If we keep those, then they would still need to go to school, and if we don't keep them, then how are they going to learn to do their career? How would a doctor know what to do? Self taught?

It's more about teaching you how to think than the actual lessons. There's more to it than just learning stuff.
