My take on the education system is this.

It's an open prison, I learned about nothing past how to use symbols, such as alphabetic symbols or numbers.

Here is the illusion, it's not real, it's a 'spell' that's why it called spelling.

Once a being has been 'educated' in how to 'read' or 'count' using symbols, they are now in an illusionary farce.

Passing symbols to leave messages such as ' I'll be home late' is one thing, the problem is when we read symbols a type of lesser magic, or perhaps greater magic occurs.

So the symbols get absorbed and the go into your brain, not as symbols oh no no no no, they conjure up a story, a story that the reader thinks they know after reading, when all they really know is how to arrange the symbols to participate in the illusion.

This illusion is powerful and can even induce emotion, you're in a spell.

In reality you will never really know, anything about the experience that you read, all you know is the symbols, and the illusionary theatre they create in your mind.

Let's say you read about the American Civil War, you must use your education training to create an illusion to represent the facts using the symbols, however you will never know, you will never be able to know what it was really like, the feelings, you don't know them. In fact there would never be enough time to write everything that one person experiences in the ACW, because the amount of complicated feelings and traumas are unimaginable, there are also no words available to describe some feelings and experiences, so unless you're there you don't know, and all you will know is your own experience that is conjured up from the symbols.

So when asked you'd be as well saying ''I know nothing of the ACW but there are books that have symbols that have been arranged to inject peoples minds with 'details'.
.

Being able to remember dates and details that you've read about the ACW does not mean that you know anything about it, it means that you have a good memory and an interest in the historical event, many of the finer details will be not included, so we take as much of the available 'evidence' and patch it together in our minds, it's no different that someone who has learned to read ancient scripts, how can such information be relayed to those who would not know the minds of those who wrote/drew.

I'm not suggesting that information be ignored, only that information is only someone else's account, the illusion that those symbols create in the mind of the reader is likely not a representation of what occurred, thus it's not education, as you don't 'know it' only of it.

So as far as education goes, the only way that I see it works, so you actually learn, is when you go with a tutor, you try something with guidance, you are then encouraged to write about the experience using the symbols as a method to recollect how you felt, what you did etc, that way when it comes to 'reading about it' you can have the symbols representing your memory, they will replay it like you knew it, it will make perfect sense, you'll know what you're 'reading' you won't simply be creating an illusion of knowledge in your mind by remembering symbols about an experience that you have not had, as though you had.

I hope I'm making this clear, when we read of history it's often about 'elites' thus the experiences of the elites are then written, from these writing we think we know of them, of information, we don't all we know is that they are worth writing about in education, and we get this symbolic spell that represents their stories in our heads, so it's not education it's worship.

As for numbers/patterns/codes tbh most people never use a level of higher mathematics outside of the classroom, it's pointless, it goes way over peoples heads, it's to let you know you're limited, I'd think it would be a far more valuable learning to have human rights as an education, people in general like to know there rights, the problem is they never think about how them advocating for their own rights has an impact on others, if such things were forms of education this would be a better place.

Why are we learning about the different angles of a hexagon when we don't even know when we're neglecting the rights of our neighbours, it's almost as though the education system has a purpose of distracting people from what we're meant to be doing, getting along, being honest, I have nothing against remembering the errors of war etc.... or finding out about inventions, learning to count, I just don't see why that needs to be fed to everyone, when in fact further education is available for those who wish to focus on something.

I don't see why sociology is an extra subject or indeed environmental studies, as these can be based on ones own experiences and the relationships with others and the planet.

I'm trying to explain possibly quite poorly how it appears to me that the education system, is teaching people what to remember instead of how to live.

And thus I conclude that it's repressive to humanity.
