There's a difference between School and learning?!
The modern Western education system
was never designed to develop thinkers.
It was designed to produce obedience.
Around 200 years ago, the UK and much of the West adopted the Prussian education model
(this isn't propaganda or politics - its fact- research it).
A military and industrial system built to train:
→ Soldiers
→ Factory workers
→ Civil servants
And it worked.
Just not for wisdom.
The structure hasn’t really changed in 200years.
Same age groups.
Same classrooms.
Same curriculum.
Same pace.
Sit still.
Listen.
Repeat.
Do not question.
We’ve upgraded the buildings.
Added laptops and smartboards.
But the operating system is the same one built for discipline, control, and conformity.
Ancient Greek learning looked very different.
Small groups.
Mentors, not instructors.
Questions, not answers.
You learned through dialogue.
Through reflection.
Through walking and thinking.
Knowledge wasn’t memorised.
It was examined.
Character mattered.
Judgement mattered.
Self mastery mattered.
One system trains people to comply.
The other trains people to discern.
And here’s the uncomfortable truth.
Most adults do not struggle because they lack intelligence.
They struggle because they were never taught how to think.
They were taught how to follow.
That’s why so many people leave school:
→ Educated but directionless
→ Qualified but unsure
→ Successful on paper but struggling in life or business
This is also why real mentoring looks nothing like school.
Business mentoring, done properly, looks far closer to the Greek model than the Prussian one.
Conversation.
Challenge.
Reflection.
Experience.
Not instruction.
Not indoctrination.
The question isn’t whether education failed you.
The question is whether you are still living by a system
that was never designed for who you were meant to become.
