A long time ago, when I was still going to school, I often thought about some class or other: "What's the point of this? I'm just wasting time on stuff I won't ever need. And my grades are going down because of it." So I supported all these bright ideas like having schools work the curriculum out with the industry.
Nowadays, I know better. The purpose of school is not to produce ready-made employees. It's to give people a wider perspective. Perhaps they won't use most of what they learn there, perhaps they'll have bad memories of some classes, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you learn how to learn, how to reason, how to think.
I hate what's been happening to schools lately. They are becoming conveyor belts: we throw children on them, throw specific knowledge at them and see what sticks, we do exams and classify them. We expect to get a thoughtless laborer at the end, someone ready to take a specific job immediately.
A human whose only purpose in life is mindless labor and mindless consumption. Metaphorically, someone who's just going to spend their time off by drinking beer in the front of the TV and breeding more babies. Babies who will eventually become more cogs in the machine, fueling the infinite growth, trying to prevent this mindless system from falling apart.

Starting the day with going through the #bergwelten magazine once more. Sometimes I wish I'd knew the focal length of the photos.
Later we did two nice walks near #dietramszell and enjoyed spring and the sun. Wrist is also feeling better.
We saw really a lot of cyclists. But …

Hello—this is Ken Burns, reaching out on behalf of Alex Vindman for Senate.
I have dedicated my life to sharing America’s stories through films. They examine crucial moments in our nation’s history and the threats to our democracy. These stories are not easy.
Today, our country is facing its own reckoning, and the stakes have never been higher. That is why I am reaching out.
Alex Vindman––who I first met in 1983 while filming my documentary, the Statue of Liberty, when he w…
