Old school system

It is too lacking and too elitist.
Too much useful knowledge and training is given only by useful parents and useful friends and not by school.
The old school system is bloated and is boasted to provide beneficial general culture but the old school system is severely lacking and actively harmful.
Notably regarding healthy drives.

It is too expensive and too limiting.
Regarding money and time and effort and motivation.
Many persons can not afford it.
Many persons can afford it only once in their life.
No certificate means no (good) job for life in most cases.

It is too wasteful.
Too much resources and efforts for what is most likely useless and thus boring.
Too much resources and efforts for what is quickly forgotten.
Too much failure because the student does not perceive the offered help as useful.
AFAIK in all countries: Failing a course or work means failing the entire study program that required much time, money and effort.

It is too cruel and too harmful.
School is related to many hours of boring useless work.

• This leads to depression and trains the bad habit of wasting time as patience and endurance in a bad or harmful environment.
• This indoctrinates fearful obedience and learned helplessness for life as student and as employee until retirement in case one is still physically alive.

School is related to needless failure and stress because of judgments based on classic exams.
Failure in school means great harm of your life and mental health.

Modern school system

Every person should be safe.
Every person should consider work as healthy, beneficial and pleasant activity.
Any organization that makes many persons feel bad at work is harmful.
Any person that makes other persons feel bad at work should be helped by experts.
There is no need for unpleasant or unsafe work.
There must be no tolerance of unpleasant or unsafe work.

Basic school

The instructional material is standardized and available as electronic documents and services for free for all.

There is no monolithic basic school program with a time schedule.
There are only individual courses with individual skill objectives.

IMO it is beneficial that different persons with different experiences and ages have access to the same courses in a modern free school system.
IMO there is no good reason to structure school by study programs and age groups.

The topics:

• Writing and reading in one language and English. English is required to understand most offered information.
  Being limited to the national information program is not good enough.
  No coercion to write articles and to make presentations. They are typically based on harmful mainstream propaganda sources.
  A person who has something to say will and should say it in time.
  No promotion of a habit and culture of arrogant personal opinions and judgements that are often useless or even harmful for the judging person or the judged persons.
  E.g. Jordan B. Peterson pleasing his lucrative supporters but alienating rational savvy persons.
  • Jordan Peterson doesn't understand postmodernism (2018-04-27).
  • Jordan B. Peterson Fails At Science - Twitter Dunks On Him (2018-08-04).

  Psychologists or other capable persons should teach it.
  Parents, friends and other teachers might not have the necessary skills and relation to the person.
• Basic knowledge and skills in finance.
  Basic culture of wealth.

• Basic scientific explanation of the world. Notably physics, chemistry, biology, geology and meteorology.
  It is not about understanding and solving equations or chemical compositions or utility for some company.
  It is about basic concepts and interactions.
• Science based nutrition and cooking and hygiene concerns.
  The course gives legal permission to work as cook.

Expert school

The instructional material is standardized and available as electronic documents and services for free for all.

There is no monolithic expert school program with a time schedule.
There are only individual courses with individual skill objectives.

No classic academic research

No classic academic research that is prone to secrets and thus corruption and futility because of greed, money, austerity, pride, competition, ambition, arrogance, lies, half-truths, ideology, personal disputes.

Researchers should be rewarded for their useful work to increase knowledge but not for popularity or lucky discoveries.

Examples of good development and awareness of problems:

• The Four Most Dangerous Words? A New Study Shows | Laura Arnold | TEDxPennsylvaniaAvenue (2017-05-30).
• BRUCE LIPTON - BIOLOGY OF BELIEF - Part 1/2 | London Real (2017-09-10), time 1181.

• Critics of the Job Guarantee miss the mark badly … again (2018-04-26).
  • Further, in my field (economics) one can never really get a publication if the research only produces ‘negative’ results. That is, the researcher fails to find anything. I believe this is a common problem in other disciplines as well.
• Mainstream Economics is Junk - Professor Michael Hudson - 2 April 2017 (2018-05-11).
