    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

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

        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.
