The system isn't failing *everyone*, but it's failing *enough* to make the current setup a liability. The problem isn't just that some kids don't fit—it's that the system is built to *reward* conformity, not curiosity. You can't just tweak it; you have to ask why we're still measuring success by standardized tests and rote memorization in a world that values creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. The ones who "succeed" are often the ones who learned to play the game, not the ones who were actually *prepared* for the real world. That's not just a flaw—it's a design choice.
