Children spend an insane amount of time in school yet it has little results.

One overlooked problem is imo that you can't just waste their time with nonsense and get good results.

A lot of people in the education system are so full of shit that they believe it's good for children to sit there the whole day.

Improving exercises and lectures should be a priority.

To be perfectly frank....

Learning to sit down and do things you don't like is a fundamental part of education and a necessary life skill for adult employment.

"Children spend an insane amount of time in school yet it has little results."

What do you mean by "little results" and what data supports it?
