The US education system needs burned to the ground and redone entirely. It wasn't started to better people. It was created to get kids ready for mindless factory work and it hasn't moved on from that mentality since.

I almost wish this were still the case. At least it would be preparing kids for something and giving them some career opportunity. Right now it seems geared to teach kids a combination of useless facts and indoctrination.
