School is pointless for the common man

I've dealt with anti-school issues for a long time and have heard an immense amount of bullshit. Most kids I talk to tell me things like, "I'm never gonna use this", or "History already happened, why learn about it?". And, I always thought that kind of talk is for the ignorant. I, personally, don't like school because I think the initial reason for its creation has been lost in time.
School was meant to be a place to learn and become knowledgeable in your civilization. Why anyone wouldn't want to learn was considered stupid by ancient peoples, and most grabbed the chance for an education. Nowadays, it's become more than just a place to learn, it's become a necessity. You go through school learning the same shit everyone else does, memorizing things, taking big tests, not really learning anything in the process. Knowledge is out of the question, it's all about the grade you have gotten. It's like forced memorization of things deemed "important" by society. And what do you get in return for good grades? a better school.....a better job...more money.
The bottom line is....school is senseless learning for cash. I don't know about the rest of you....but I know there are better things than a shit load of money. Sure, you have it easier when it comes to pay issues, but the rest of life is much more than that...It has lost its ancient roots of knowledge and turned into a greed program of stupidity. (comment: all my views are relating to the public school system)
