[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I have never seen a system care.  EVER. That goes for large companies, large government etc.  Because if it cares all the time, efficiency and waste starts to creep into the conversation.

AI doesn’t care either because systems dont

Could this system be build to put more of individual children’s needs ahead of the system? probably.

BUT that also comes with issues because kids do have to learn to be part of a civilization and society.  Part of that learning is that you don’t come first in a group most of the time and the needs of the majority of others can outweigh what is optimal for you.

I think Apps have trained us to think we should be in charge of everything.  Schools can’t do that becuase they should and have to serve the needs of the majority over the individual.

Basically OP, no they don’t, but your question on some level denies the fundamental reason schooling exists: to make good citizens that contribute to the greater good while also excelling individually.

I argue that the system is not making good citizens. They have been made widgets and taught to ignore problems right in front of them. Let me give you an example. A few years ago, my child made a new friend who had gotten into drugs. He didn’t know it at the time. One day at lunch, that friend OD’d in the middle of the cafeteria. Obviously, school doesn’t want bunches of kids standing over the kid, so they have them disperse. My kid who was clearly upset and concerned about his friend was told it was nothing but en as he witnessed his friend being taken away by EMT. The NEXT DAY the kid is at their sports practice.

Schools teach kids things that are not strictly academic. The above incident taught kids not to get involved, don’t believe what is happening before their eyes, bottle their emotions, etc. That is what the SYSTEM is doing. [/quote]
