While education is very important, I think we can all agree that the school system has plenty of flaws.
Lots of things that are "normalized" in school are actually pretty messed up.
For starters, the way many schools choose to implement and enforce dress codes is highly problematic. Sending young girls home for wearing tank tops in August is disturbing and disruptive.
The tremendous emphasis placed on test-taking is also pretty awful. It's an unfair assessment of intelligence and doesn't accurately measure or capture how smart students really are.
Additionally, the practice of sending students home with hours of homework per class is ridiculous. It discourages them from going outside, socializing, or participating in extracurriculars.
