    mentions:

     Schools don’t teach how to be independent and don’t give students any
    control.
     Grading in the education system is based on wrong values.
     The value of education is decreasing as the system doesn’t give any real-life
    knowledge.
     The knowledge is passed passively as students just listen to teachers talking.
     The education system focuses on teaching students so they can pass tests
    and exams.
     Students are not encouraged to be original.
     The schooling system doesn’t give any opportunity to learn work skills.
     Schools don’t take into consideration that people learn differently.
     Modern education destroys creativity, personality and critical thinking.
     There’s too much technology used in the public schooling system.
     The school system teaches people to listen to instructions.
