We want to win at life. We try to follow the system that we think will achieve personal satisfaction, find meaning in life, and financial stability.
We tell our kids that if they do the “right” things they’ll score 100 on the test and have a great life.
Therefore we build universities and curriculums that arm you to score well on the test, get the gold star, and get the degree. School isn’t about education, it’s high-priced job training.
Instead of using school to get the degree, what would happen if we all used school to get an education?
