Someone:
"The education system you proposed was opt-in, right? Wont this lower the level of education in the country? I mean I can assume that there will be many parents who fail to properly homeschool their children considering the fact that they never went to a school for teahing, or to the subject that they are teaching. Also are the yearly in-person checkups supposed to be a sure fire way of making sure kids are happy or missing out? I assume that your country has school counseling which is always available for students, yet quite frequently kids are still bullied, left out or unhappy. Also is it safe to leave survey data to past students, who might want to leave bad reviews because they think its funny? Also the thing about parents contributing to the system, I'm not quite sure if I understood it right, but having education quality  based on how much the parents of the child can contribute could lead to classist segregation."

Me:

"it wont lower the overall level of education, no.

What former students think is more important than what the managerial class think

No, I said so they're not freeloading unaffordably

So they're not just pumping out babies and abandoning them. 

That might be unnecessary to say, but the point is to protect the unborn and children's rights, while also not just letting someone pump out kids for the system to no end

What is education good for, really?

What does it matter if I never played the flute and read Charles Dickens when I can learn what is actually productive and useful to me?

 There might not be a magic fool proof way (to check on kids who aren't attending), but the points system will regulate the engagement that schools have with kids, including messaging them and encouraging them to attend, and offering services even such as meals and beds if they don't have a good home situation and if that is a path a school has taken.

The check-ups are mostly for kids who aren't attending.

Of course bullying will be prevented by the normal systems put in place by head teachers and staff behaviour."

The print text:

This country would be better off without this education system, so that people could educate themselves according to their needs and wants. So that children could self-educate and parents and communities could freely educate. An article I read implied that school prepares children for work. Yet, not everybody in society must work, and school teaches music, drama and art, but not driving or street cleansing - “real work”, but the “Labour” Party isn’t interested. The “Lib” Dems “value” liberty, community, and no one being enslaved by conformity, but that magically doesn’t apply to the education system. Why must the state prepare people for work? Can’t people do that themselves? School is not seriously about raising up the next gen. It’s basically just someone's fetish of uniformity and obedience, that we've just been accepting just because we grew up in it. Gen Z aren't going to accept it for future generations. The fixation extends to the military, as well. Ties on children. Ties on some dressed-up soldiers. Ties on our "representatives". It is a spectre of faux professionalism. Someone invented it. I'm un-inventing it. The politicians haven't changed school because they have mild personalities and think it made them smart, and can't imagine a world where they have less control over people. You'll find few smart politicians, because there's nothing inherently smart about being one.

Do you think that in 1000 years time, we'll still have the same education system? You think this is what's gonna be the galactic gold standard? Of course not. Wake up. It's time to wake up and smell the ashes, Mr Freeman.

Personally, I went to school aged five, hoping to start learning something difficult. Something about logical systems (computing). Instead, I got a colouring-in task. I stayed in school like a good boy, and it treated me like I barely existed. I was just another name on a register. Disgusting. It's evil and all you politicians should be ashamed of yourselves. It’s not reflective of adult life. There’s no individuality, no community - just obedience.

Why is there a birth rate crisis? Why is there an army size and morale crisis? Why are there economic problems? Why are there so many drugs deaths? And so on.

Well, all the problems have roots. Simply look at what the state is doing to people, and you'll see the root is the education system. It's a lie and scam, and aged 24, I've survived to make it my mission to make it make sense.

This will be the system that produces the galactic gold standard of education:

We’ll delete the rigid school system and make whatever comes next opt-in, with only yearly in-person check-ups compulsory, making sure nobody’s missing out or unhappy. We’ll give each head teacher a score of 0 points, and if they (and their staff) want a financial reward and the continued use of whatever system they invent and implement, they’ll need more points than other head teachers. Points will come from former students doing surveys, being successful, and data like their rates of literacy, birth, obesity, crime and death. It’ll be like free market competition. Google “reinforcement learning”. Head teachers’ experimental ideas will be regulated by parents, kids and good people. When a child is conceived, a school will automatically be concerned for that life, and no matter what happens, the school will gain points or lose points regarding that life. Experimental schools will be able to spend their budget essentially however they like, given approval.

Each school will have a "strategy" document, determining staff functions and the intended "marketplace of opportunities" of the school. Parents will be expected to contribute to the system directly or financially, so they’re not freeloading unaffordably. Minimum (physical) attendance will be 5 hours per year up to the age of 16 - long enough to check that no-one's missing out or being exploited. Geographical boundaries will determine which school is by default responsible for a child, but a school can allow children from different areas. When a child takes an opportunity from a school (even just using the library for one day), its strategy is then subject to points feedback from and regarding that individual. Schools can gift with no strings attached.

There may be several different high-points strategies that emerge, allowing for different types of schools, much like how evolution results in different adaptations depending on environment. A school may require a strategy change, if a generally high points strat doesn't get high points as expected for that school.

This is undeniably the best school system ever invented. This is not a question of if, but when. It must happen.

Entropy will return humanity to dust if we continue politicians’ thoughtless traditions for no reason other than a lack of good leadership. The incompetence stems from their brainless and selfish party policy-making systems.

School should:

1. Develop basic knowledge and skills (communally)

2. Provide resources and opportunities for further development of said knowledge and skills (communally and individually)

3. Identify talents and desires of students, to further their talents and desires (individually)

Basic knowledge is understanding that could, to a broad range of people, be highly useful. For example, bikes are more broadly used by individuals than algebra, & food, places, dangers, objects, literacy and first aid.
