Yup. Because schools primarily serve to create workers. Actual education is merely permitted when it does not interfere with the main aim of creating workers

It's an industrial era system in the 21st century. What could possibly go ~~wrong~~ right?

I don't think teachers are thinking about creating workers. They just apply the way they were raised.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 26 points 6 months ago

But applying without thinking doesn't mean that it doesn't serve a purpose, it just means they don't know what the purpose is

Not on Lemmy, here everything bad is because of capitalism, humans would be perfect if they hadn't bitten into the capitalism apple.
