@cognazor without engaging with a toxic person, this does seem like a fruitful topic. I'm not a parent so I only have one side of this perspective. I'm sure you (and all parents) have a lot of perspective I lack on this.

Could you possibly summarize it in a tweet length?
-
haha ok that's a challenge, this isn't a summary but an impression to encourage you to read it. The institution of school, as we know it, does not serve the people and was not intended to. It is an institution of social engineering designed to produce obedience.

It has its roots in Prussian and Anglo-American military industrial complexes and aimed to supply nation state powers with soldiers and workers who could empower the nation state at the cost of the people's autonomy, creativity, and spirituality.

another great thinker and writer on this is John Taylor Gatto https://www.johntaylorgatto.com/

I've read both of these (Gatto when I was in high school, I think - I very much felt like I was in a gilded cage). My thinking on this was to attack the institution of a prestigious college degree - because if that is out-competed, everything leading up to it doesn't make sense.
-
yes, that seems like a useful vector to attack. not only does it seem like high leverage but the amount of obscene harm done to young people by student loan debt is now a full blown crisis in its own right.
