Wonder as you wish, I've written reams of paper worth online
  ranting about the flaws in the education system and how it
  limits the thinking abilities of future adults by creating
  artificial barriers to creativity by forcing the kids to comply
  with unnecessarily complicated directions designed to confuse
  rather than enlighten, and the sheer sadistic delight of
  test-makers and textbook writers who revel in the process of
  making something simple, impossible.

  Then Common Core came out in the USA. I shant start my rant on
  that.

  I could blame Holt. Read Unschooling when I was 14. Summerhill
  by Js Neill. So, my disillusionment with education and its ways
  are rooted early. C'est la vie.
