Yes, the chinuch system must be revamped.
When I was in HS, we were forced to memorize details of Gedolim’s lives that were utterly pointless.
Instead they should have taught derech eretz. My teachers constantly complained that these girls lacked respect. I would often look on painfully as I couldn’t control my classmates, but wishing they’d listen to me when I told them to just be quiet and let our teachers teach!!
B”H, I was an extremely respectful student…but I flunked that Gedolim test, BIG TIME. You tell me what’s more important?
