Schools job was only to make people literate. In the sense, that they could learn how to read and write. Schools played a fantastic role, in that arena. But now they are absolutely irrelevant.
50 years ago, very few people were educated and knew how to read and write. Today, mothers teach children how to read and write, even before they go to school.
Then why do we need school?
