And on another note:

You don't have to be 'smart' or 'intelligent' to pass by these schools. Even the class president or the valevictorian is not necesarrily the genius, but rather more dedicated and actually do their homework. Albert Einstein was horrible in school but ended up one of the most brilliant minds in Earth's history.

In essence, school just trains people to aquire new skills to thrive in the business and economic world. Most people could care less about what the main theme is in Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" or what the spark was leading to the French and Indian War.

We have strayed fom education to just schooling sadly.
