The System
The school system, sometimes, seems to me a bit like "The System" in The Matrix.
That's the scene in which Neo is told that The Matrix is a system, and anyone who protects it is also their enemy.
The school system is similar in some ways. Some students are so blind, to how they are being damaged by school, that they have become dependent on it, and so they do anything to protect it.
It is my goal, and the goal of FER, to free their minds, and lto expose school.

What is wrong with school?
Here are some of school's major, obvious flaws.
The school system makes the assumption that all students are capable of understanding the whole public school curriculum. Not all students are the same and they all have their own talents and strengths. Pretending that all students are equal robots causes excessive stress, which can result in suicides. More information on this could be found here:

School labels different students as failures. If a student has a talent which is not recognised, then they are at risk of being labelled a failure.
School has primitive testing methods. Exams test no more than the student's memory and they measure how much time they've spent memorising facts. Exams fail to measure real understanding of concepts and they also fail to test other talents such as creativity and other intelligences.
In school, individuality is discouraged, and so is creativity or critical thinking. Students are told to obey the teacher and become mindless robots, and this harms their health in many ways, as it causes stress, which can lead to other health problems.
The biggest, most major flaw of school, is that it's compulsory. Homeschooling isn't an option for everyone, and many are left with no choice but to go to school. School will not improve, if it doesn't have to. If school was optional, it would have to improve, or it would perish, and other alternatives would spring up and become better known.
