I’m confused. How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into a setting where they are organized by age, into grades, and forced to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 + years? Huh?

I doubt anyone thinks it's the best way, teaching large groups of children is efficient if you have limited teachers per community and parents busy with work. Small farming communities might have one teacher for 30 kids of different ages. Bigger might have classes by age.

Now we have freely available books, great online courses, YouTube tutorials, etc, this holdover from another context is hardly necessary. I hope we move faster a new system that works better for our current constraints. But big social idntitutions are slow to adapt.
