https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_schooling has several sources if you want to read, specifically the first argument, of the school system as government control

But I didn't think I'd need sources, it's almost a meme how everyone thinks school is where your curiosity dies.

Everyone says we need schools, just not the ones we have, or the ones we had, or the ones we will have.

The school system is the monopoly of the government to say what is important for children to learn, mostly to obey authority
