The end of public education Visualize a thriving society where children grow up happily with family and friends, living life, doing what they enjoy day by day: it could be playing football outdoors with their friends, walking through woods and along streams, or perhaps surfing the internet to play, perhaps coming across music or a video showing the vastness of the universe on YouTube! They are all encounters with the future, potential, hidden sparks that have the possibility of becoming the charm of a child. Playing football can bring out a hidden talent of fantastic speed. Taking walks through the woods and along streams can lead to an obsession with the little frog that jumped into the stream as a little boy passed by, scaring him. Internet games can spark curiosity about how they were made, how they work, how the page it resides on works, how the Internet works! The immeasurable exposure to huge amounts of lifestyles, topics, and arts on YouTube is invaluable. Humans are curious creatures; always hunting for information: absorbing it, analyzing it. When something sparks interest, it grows like wildfire! But when an authority takes over and requirements are imposed, curiosity recedes and the fire goes out. Public education is this authority. It overwhelms entire lives until it becomes life, and from the unwanted, but nevertheless negligible signals, delivered by the system to the mass of students who will be the future, a premature and incorrect idea of ​​the meaning of life is developed. Signs that recall ideas such as "everyone is equal", "knowledge is more precious than happiness", "stress is part of life". These gestures are just one of the negative aspects of an otherwise well-built machine... middle of paper... of that natural human curiosity we are all born with. Public education is simply useless. It's unfair, wrong and inefficient. This does not mean that knowledge and education are not necessary, as they are both immensely valuable, but they can both be acquired by living. Basic level knowledge is always necessary, but it is something that is taught when growing up as a child. A child's potty training goes hand in hand with learning simple math and reading skills - all are learned during childhood. There are also private institutions available to provide a competitive offering of 'traditional' education and home schooling available for those who prefer a more personalized route. Imagine a world where people don't need to be told what they need to learn. Curiosity and ambition lead to knowledge. Knowledge is an amenity of happiness, not the other way around.
