Flawed, but we need an education system

I view public schooling very negatively, due to its utilization of the prussian school system, placing an emphasis on obedience rather than understanding, the Rockerfeller's didn't send their kids to public schools, despite practically being the architects of it.
I was forntunate enought to have gone to a Montessori school for elementary and middle school. It has its benefits and detractions, the biggest benefit being the mobility granted and self-direction it teaches students.
Although I did well in High School, and am currently in college, I must say that I don't care for academia. I enjoy learning, with it being a hobby of mine, I do feel that school impedes on that hobby, and the time needed for it. I attribute my affinity for self-teaching to my time spent in montessori.
If I become a father, I'd like to homeschool my children (assuming I have a remote job that allows me to dedicate time), homeschooling not only allows kids to become proficient while not being mentally draining, it allows them to be much healthier, being less confining.

Homeschooling turns kids into maladjusted nitwits, people only complain about compulsory schooling because they where too retarded to learn what integers where or because the teacher didn't tell the children that a combustible topiary wrote the book of good ethics

>>4163121Adding on to this, homeschool children surpass public school children (and potentially private school children) when it comes to standarnized testing.

>>4163141Home schooling does not remove social interaction because the child can learn faster and have more time to play with friends outside daily.

>>4163098Compulsory and nationally controlled though? Until the 19th century, such an idea drew great skepticism. Compulsory public education has historically been a means for political and economic control above all else: Spartans and Prussians raising future soldiers and Americans raising future factory workers. On the other hand, independent institutions of education have a long and commendable track record.
>>4163116Not at all actually. Just to give one example, chemist Joseph Priestly, who independently discovered molecular oxygen in 1775, asserted that government schooling would both limit capacity for independent thought as well as struggle to evolve in pace with new intellectual discoveries and the constantly changing demands of society.

It is weakness all around me, how I as a small child could question as to why ill-fit poor starving africans choose to have kids, before they build their castle. I have decided to build my castle first. I have decided not to raise kids in poverty or shortages.
You are not the same as me.

>>4163197It wasn't anything like modern public schooling doe, it was meant to make the Prussian youth more effective in military service while US schools where more concerned about making functional workers capable of basic mathematics and literacy
