to me this is an indication that the priorities of these formative years should change, and it doesn't look like what "school" looks like
the montessori and sudbury school model always seemed closest to what was necessary, although now I wonder if even those are cracking at the seams with outsourced thinking
regardless, I think a re-evaluation of the point is absolutely necessary.
self-motivated children are rare and require a specific environment and support system to thrive in, but will always be there to escape the more obvious return to serfs working on fiefs, unless born into capital themselves
