Most schools have never considered the curriculum and is it relevant for today's day and age? The world has changed at a pace that we ve never seen before and the curriculum they re teaching today for the most part is 5, 10 years old at best. The schools are not designed to actually teach people how to be independent problem solvers that will then allow them to own their results. School is set up to have kids eventually grow into factory workers. School s designed to memorize information you ll never have to remember ever again. In the future, when all of a sudden you are paid based on your performance, the gig economy, freelancers, this is where the world is going. In that environment, being somebody that can memorize things and just follow a process is not gonna be valued and those people are gonna be in big trouble.
