The irony of your comment is that it's predatory capitalism that's given us the public school system we have in the U.S. Why can't we have a system that honors every kid's interests and needs instead turning education into a competition? Why do we instead have an industrial system that forces every kid into a box? Because there's a TON of money in industrial schooling: Pearson, the big publishers, remedial everything, and on and on. Education spending is a deep trough and predatory capitalists are the pigs feeding at it. The idea that capitalism doesn't want everyone to be dysfunctional--and fat, and divorced, and addicted to anti-depressants, and working two jobs--is absurdly naive. Don't be fooled by the woke trappings of rainbow flags and teachers willing to help kids socially transition: the public school system is where the American left went to die.
