@digdeeper most people complete school better adjusted than people of the same age who never studied plus you need to be capable of fulfilling one of the several mundane career paths available once being a “twitch streamer” or “YouTuber” don’t work out for you.

@sheetposter @digdeeper@mastodon.honeypot.im There are plenty of useful, career opportunistic skills that can be learned on your own like programming, cooking, working with cars, music. I bet there will be more opportunities when stuff like 3D-printing becomes mainstream. There's really no reason to have kids locked in a building for 8 hours every weekday to "learn" anymore.
School needs to be reformed, not discarded. Most people left to their own devices will have difficulty learning math or proper whatever-is-the-language-you-speak-locally. Drop school and you'll end up with a bunch of people who speak literal gibberish and struggle with the most basic math-related tasks.
If your answer to that is "replace with career training" then that's still school, just reformed.
And what the fuck do you think people are going to do with 3D printing? Slave labor is cheaper and that's why all your stuff is made in China. Design a cool 3D thing you can monetize by selling copies of? Give it a week and China is selling it cheaper and eating your business.
