The education system is the single biggest system of social constraint outside of the prison system

I'm not sure whether you're advocating for education or not there?

My fiancé is a teacher. The good that schools do is far beyond just Pythagoras

Social mobility and education is the biggest factor why poor stay poor and the rich stay rich.

The CV pandemic has posed the question "what are schools for"? Given that much learning is neither constrained by time or space and that education is "what you remember after you have forgotten everything you learned in the classroom", schools' role in society is changing. WFH and LFH will become a flexible norm with schools acting as centres for training, sporting activities and enrichment activities for example. Universities are already trying to get to grips with the existential threat of online learning replacing campus-based learning. It's educashun Jim, but not as we know it.
