"Modern schools have largely abandoned the task of preparing young people for independent adult life."

"Modern schools have largely abandoned the task of preparing young people for independent adult life. Instead, they function as institutions of ideological formation. 

"Hordes of students now leave education with weak literacy and numeracy, almost no understanding of basic economics or finance, and little practical knowledge of how to think clearly or argue rigorously. Instead, they are exposed to a curriculum shaped by critical theory and political activism, frameworks that encourage students to interpret the world primarily through lenses of oppression, privilege and systemic guilt rather than through evidence, reason and individual agency. 

"The state’s near-monopoly on schooling and teacher training has inevitably made education a vehicle for the dominant political and cultural worldview, resulting in a system that produces graduates who are often poorly equipped to create value in the real world, but well-versed in the language of grievance and institutional critique. 

"The problem is compulsory, state-controlled education. When schooling is funded and directed by the government, it tends to serve the interests of those who control the state rather than the interests of individual students and their families. True educational improvement requires breaking that monopoly - through genuine parental choice, competition between providers, and a curriculum focused on knowledge and capability rather than political formation."
