I think you can separate out responses to ‘school is not good’ to: -school is inherently useful -school is hard to replace and serves a function (even if not perfect) in current equilibrium
I strongly recommend reading:
-The Case Against Education (I liked this summary by Zvi) -Free to Learn by Peter Gray (unfortunately I don’t know a good summary but shouldn’t be hard to find one)
Case against education basically demolishes idea that we go to school for inherent value rather than signaling.
Free to learn demolishes idea that there aren’t good alternatives (you can naggle about specifics of implementation but I think it makes a decent enough case for 80% of things)
