Very few come out of this system with the ability to successfully play our economic games.
And beyond that, it is worth questioning the economic games we play. The primary function of our public school system is to prepare people for a life as wage serfs, to soften us up for a daily clockwork grind in a humiliating authoritarian machine that bases our "worth" on numerous criteria, many of which have little to do with the betterment of human life.
