The real problem is that people confuse skills training and facts regurgitation for education. Education properly is the transmission of culture and values, which includes some training and facts memorization, but it is primarily about forming the will and character.

The ivy league zombie phenomenon is highly trained but poorly educated people.

Will and character come from school? That’s new to me. I always thought those values were taught by parents 🤔

You are totally correct. The schools call themselves places of education, but they are training. It tricks parents into thinking they don't need to contribute. In fact, the parent are and ought to always be the primary educator.

Where I live is such a lack of education mixed with povery.

Parents end up spending all of their time working (to provide the necessary for their children so they can keep studying for a better future) and fail into that "state education trick".

in the end children remain as poor as their parents.. 🙁
