Schools are useless. No, their foundation is not about "producing well-rounded well-informed people". It is about creating mindless sheep for a factory. Young people need to understand that. And schools simply can not teach you about life and about the world, the real world.

Everything is more accessible than ever. You don't need school. You have free education out there. Just be curious, and independent, learn to learn, and learn to think on your own. Learn from the actual professionals and the best in the world. Have a strong work ethic. Network, and connect with mentors for free. Travel the world, and experience it the way it actually is. Try things in a real life. It never was the best time to become an entrepreneur or a creator. Acquire wisdom, which is learning from the mistakes in history and others.

The sooner you can get out of useless schools and universities, exams, certificates, and being treated as a fail or pass, the sooner you can start your true education on your own and the art of life.
