One of the most tragic implications is that it shapes the perception of people at an age when they are especially susceptible to it.
Instead of liveliness, play, practicality, real experiences, children are given the deadness of closed quasi-barracks called schools in which total strangers, neither in perception nor in age and modus operandi close to the children - fulfill some curriculum written by somebody, somewhere, sometimes with certain agendas at play.
A way of processing information is formed which is stuck in the left hemisphere of the brain, the right one is brought to the point of atrophy, and even if someone is lucky that it does not affect them, then the balance between these two parts of the brain is difficult to achieve.
Some may imagine that the mass and availability of education in the system is some kind of positive thing. It is hard to deny that it has some positive effects, but most importantly, it creates the kind of character structures that the system needs to function.
It is also a bit naive to think that "free" education has a positive role. It was introduced with a purpose, not altruistic and enlightened motives of wise legislators and political elites.
It was introduced in order for the state to form young minds in a totalitarian, fundamentalist concept where every innovation, every difference and deviation from the "righteous" paths (regardless of whether they are secular or religious) is met "with a knife" in advance, the brain is so networked that it resists anything new, regardless of the quality or logic of the new views.
What can be seen from the biographies of the greats of history, either from a scientific or artistic point of view, is that by far the majority of them, although like every rule and this is not without exception, they had great problems and aversions to the educational system regardless of the type of it.
Almost everyone who brought the new paradigms in science, art, way of life and understanding of things on their back, did it not with the wind at their back but with a hurricane in their chest whose goal was the immutability of the "sacred" Status Quo.
Is this a coincidence or not, I hope for some comment and thought, contrary reasoned views are also welcome, of course an informed opinion is not a crime, at least not yet...
