School is not for learning lessons, it’s for learning meta-lessons, if it has any purpose at all other than babysitting.

I am in fact one of those many.
But this whole discussion was clearly premised on the assumption that some other purpose might be found. (Otherwise, it doesn’t matter what the curriculum is.)
