A pessimistic view of education is that it's a subsidy for business. We use our taxes to train core skills in the workforce so it's cheaper to hire and use us.
They don't offer education as enrichment, and not even education as a competitive measure... like they aren't grounded in reality and even their fantasies suck.
I heard that from Europeans talking about US schools. Anything in school that doesn't directly help you in your job is a waste of time and money.

While in Europe education is seen as something edifying that kind of raises you to another level.
Absolutely. Basic critical thinking should be fundamental.
Some scientific skepticism would be perfect.
Some schools do, but seemingly not most.
Maybe a nice TikTok series would help. Here's 30 seconds on how to spot a fraudster: they are trying to sell you something very very complex in 30 seconds (or 280 characters).
Speaking from the UK: Yes and no.
After 14 years of Tory scum in charge, arts education in schools is on its arse, because it doesn’t provide workers to grind into a paste once they’ve left education. Indeed, most schools are struggling like fuck because funding kept getting cut while more was being required of them.
As a whole education here is seen as a civic duty to ensure our kids are well-equipped for life in the workforce, but the scope of the education isn’t limited to just what they’d need for that, even if the central focus is.
There's plenty of education-based circle jerking about superiority on both sides of the pond.
Yes the idea that public education is free training businesses should pay for is a very transactional Trumpian outlook, and the official mentality of the Trumpublican Party.
