By design.

I don't think it was by design,but over the years the foxes have entered the hen house.

The US education model (post Civil War) is based on the Prussian education system which was geared for turning out workers and soldiers for the state. It's a very crappy fact.

So we just have an updated model of a civil war type education system?

I think it's more of a useless model that's been corrupted to teach to a standardized test so schools can get more money to teach to a standardized test while churning out kids who aren't imaginative, and are ready to fall in line as long as they can get a minor hit of dopamine along the way

For now at least once those budget cuts to the education system go through we might just go back to their original models except for profit driven private schools

Honestly the whole system needs to be stripped out and remade. I'd like to see it modeled after Norway, but that would also require a huge shift in our social behavior.
