Nobody likes school. You're sitting in a small prison-like room, to do things you're not interested in, being forced by authorities abusing their power. Well, not everyone holds bad memories: you might had some good times with your friends in break, but as soon as the bell rings: back in your jail cell! Some of us (depending on where you live) experienced a very conservative and repressive system, while some of us had kind of open minded, cool teachers (long haired, guitar playing philosophers), but sadly the actual structure behind every educational facility is the same, no matter how particular cases behave.

From Prussian Conditioning Classes To Todays Classrooms:

This system has its roots in the age of industrialization, where schools where nothing but places to condition children and young adults. They were forced to learn how to work in a very strictly organized society in which nothing counts but following instructions to perform contemptuous work for very few people making profit. Today there is not much of a difference. Todays conditioning still sounds like: "sit down! Open page 46!" and "Good morning Mr. Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenberdorf".

Kids want to talk

A kid is interested in life. Did you ever went to nature with a little kid? It would ask you things you can barely find an answer to: "Why is the sky blue? Why do we live? If there are other species in space, are we aliens too then?". So why do we need to condition our kids to follow dumb ass instructions instead of encouraging their natural curiosity? It's because thats how our society works, nowadays and back in age. There are groups and people, living on this planet, that are not interested in courageous, mature and free people - they are interested in generating "human capital". It's not a word used in conspiracy theories but in educational books of economic students by the way...

People that will rather compete than cooperate or rather envy others than being grateful might fit into society, but never this will be a future anyone of us wants to live in. The point is we are so fucking brainwashed we do not even realize that we will never(!) be happy comparing ourself to others. I'm not a better person because i might perform more efficiently. I'm not a better person based on my car, my clothes, my phone or whatever. Who the fuck cares? But that is how schools effect our children: they learn to compare themselves, quantified by a number on a paper. If the number is good and you behaved well, the little rat gets a piece of sugar - if not, than you might be a problem-child!
Real life isn't quantified by numbers, real life doesn't exist in separat subjects and real life needs communication and social interactions and no god damn "Don't talk!".

Well there's good news too: during the last few years Finland has completely overthought their educational system and evolved pretty much into the right direction. Hopefully this sad chapter of mankind will change. soon.
