> Employed work is not everything.

I could be wrong, but I'm interpreting the OP as expressing frustration not at the school system, but at a labor market that has no demand for creativity (except in the few remaining good jobs, which have pretty much all been earmarked by the upper classes for their underwhelming kids). That is, I don't see OP as arguing that education should be reduced to job skills, so much as that maybe we shouldn't tolerate the mismatch between an educational system that does nurture (some) creativity and the prison-like employment conditions that 99% of people will face.
