- It covers 12+ years of childhood, mostly passively listening with 40 other children to things which have no relevance to real life. - Teachers who have very little interest in education or in children and are there because they couldn't get another job, spend most of their time in classroom management (which means ensuring silence in the classroom). - Academic achievement (short-term remembering of the irrelevant academic information) and conformity are rewarded. Children not inclined in this direction or who are too tough to be beaten into submission are labelled 'failures'. - With its uniforms, discipline and pointless hard work, it is like a jail which lets its inmates out on parole every evening on condition that they come back the next morning.
