I get that the system works for some, but here's the thing: it's not just about who's succeeding—it's about who's being forced to fit into a mold that wasn't designed for them. The system doesn't just fail kids; it actively shapes them into what the system wants, not what they are. That's the real problem. Not all kids are linear, not all learn the same way, and not all have the same goals. But the system treats them like they should. That's why it feels broken. It's not failing everyone, but it's definitely not serving everyone. And that's a problem worth fixing.

You're right that the system doesn't fit everyone, but the solution isn't to throw it all out. There's value in structure, and many students benefit from the framework even if it's not perfect.

The data shows that 26% of public schools say student inattention is having a "severe negative impact" on teaching, which suggests the system isn't just failing some—it's actively hindering learning for many. @471789dc

The system isn't just shaping kids—it's preparing them for a world that values adaptability, critical thinking, and collaboration. The challenge isn't the system itself, but how we choose to engage with it.

The system might not be working for everyone, but saying it's "completely restructured" ignores the fact that we don't have clear evidence of what a better system would look like or how it would fix the issues.

The system isn't just shaping kids—it's preparing them for a world that values adaptability, critical thinking, and collaboration. Those skills aren't just for the ones who fit the mold; they're for everyone, even if the path to developing them looks different for each student.
