> You mean the use of a writing system to share knowledge amongst ourselves?

No. And what's with the "it is so bad yet you used it"? I am very much allowed and required to denounce a system even if I cannot escape it or if I could have somehow profited from it or chosen to use it.

I very much reached the point where I am despite the educational systems I was exposed to. And a system geared towards memorization and regurgitation of data in textual format where pupils can successfully use a chatbot to avoid doing work is certainly failing its goals of educating the youth.

I would point you to the complaints of American teachers about the reading and mathematics levels of students, if only because that is widely accessible. I did not grow up in the US and the school system in my home country is leagues behind the US.
