We often hear older generations complain about our generation. But the fact is that previous generations created our entire structural system. From the age of 6 we were part of the regulations, programs and consequences they put in place. What if this was the point at issue? However, our public school education system apparently hasn't changed in 100 years, according to Encounter Books. “When our public education was created in the 19th century, its primary goal was to train obedient workers to fill the new jobs created by the industrial revolution. Industrial Revolution education included Industrial Revolution goals and methods, organization, standardization, and an overall approach to assembly, but the needs of the 21st century are not the needs of the 19th century.” (Meeting) Public schools are underperforming.

Increasing standardized testing may contribute to this.” (Buzzfeed) Most of a person's young life revolves around school. We have in mind that if we put our heart and soul into our work we will get into an exceptional school with an exceptional career. But this is not regularly the case. They are important to some extent, but we shouldn't obsess over them. 40% of parents believe their students experience school-related stress levels. “The SAT is bad because it measures how well you can take a test rather than how much intelligence you actually have.” (BuzzFeed)
