Education and learning are two different processes.

Education is the starting point. Even higher education like college.

Learning is when you have the fundamentals, and basics then start applying them in the real world. Then discovering that real life is very different than your text book. But is still essential and helpful to your learning.

Education is very important, essential and an amazing experience to have as a human being. It's tough, boring, mind numbing, you might get bullied, yes. But it also gives you a social life, community, instills essential disciplines even if it's sitting in a classroom for 9 hours. Having to deal with different kinds of people. Experiencing love maybe. And also how to study and manage your time and having discipline and aspirations.

My opinion, America's consumerist / Social-Darwinistic "survival of the fittest" narrative (this ridiculous narrative that Corporate hierarchies and economic enrichment is just natural selection, and if you complain, tough, you are a loser) fundamentally eroded Enlightenment philosophy, which was pretty much just a secularized Protestant worldview that allowed for religions that conformed to those principles at some level (really a Pseudo-Christian perennial worldview).

The education system thus reflects that, it exists to pump out productive workers who obey orders, not actually to enrich your mind, body, and soul, for economic enrichment is literally all that matters.
In fact, the American education system is modelled after Prussian military schools in order to produce mildly intelligent soldiers; this system was pushed by factory owners to create productive factory workers.

All of our institutions reflect that, by the way. Dating mimicks it (see Andrew Tate and the talk about "sexual hierarchies" and "hypergamy"), institutional religions reflect that

Even family life reflects that with intra-familial economic competition. "Which one of my sons is the most successful".
I'm not a Marxist and have no problem with capitalism and meritocracy, but it needs to be constrained by deeper spiritual principles that view economics as a means to an end (a happy family, a safe and productive neighborhood, a strong and healthy nation), not the end in of itself.

Because it was not meant to educate people in the first place, but rather form generations of people minded as the government commanded, to shape the future generations at their will, forming perfect work labour.

To not ask questions, to do what they're told, to not collaborate with others , to sit still and be quiet for hours.

True education of children, teenagers and young adults happens at home, through personal research, books, practicing real life skills, meditation and much more.

If they're interested in chemistry, physics and so on, they will learn it on their own, search on the topic and have a clearer understanding of these, than if they memorised concepts from an old textbook. Unfortunately, most parents don't teach their children to research on their own.

Its better than it has ever been in the past.
We also have to learn other things by ourselves and outside of schools

The education system is indeed rotten to the core. It doesn't teach the skills kids need to survive in the big bad world and it creates toxic environments of hyper-individualism, bullying, etc. Not to mention it promotes LGBT, cultural marxist, anti-white brainwashing too.
