Coming from a teaching background, I’ve always seen school as more about shaping social norms: follow authority, play expected roles (e.g. well-behaved, team player, good grades, gender). It’s about molding you for society, equipping you with basics like arithmetic and languages.
True learning often happens outside the classroom, relying heavily on parents or friends and experiences.
The rest depends on whether teachers even know how to teach up-to-date knowledge and encourage students to actually apply it.
