I agree. I just find the setup of our government schools, based on the Frankfurt model, interesting and think it’s important for people to understand. That was a minor reason for why I homeschooled my children. The primary reason was I wanted them to have a superior education, particularly in mathematics. That’s where public school failed me. I was stuck in the middle of that “New Math” crap back in the 70’s. I recovered from it and ultimately went on to have a mathematics minor in college. So, it wasn’t that I lacked ability, it was public education sucked, even in the 70’s.

Just off the top of my head, I would think the problem with schools is a lack of academic competition between them. By that I mean that they are controlled by bureaucracies that resist the competition of educational ideas and methods.

One of the reasons the business model in America is successful is that all the different businesses are competing with each other to win the loyalty of the consumer. The best businesses win and the others disappear.

Schools can't do that because the education bureaucracy won't permit it.

Schools need to be liberated from the government and the education mafia.
