Indeed, it is producing that kind of people. But I wouldn't assume it is caused by those in power. Maybe at the beginnings of the public school system (there were for sure a lot of people thinking about raising a proper citizen or needed workforces). Today it is more like everybody is doing what the others have been doing before. Following some old rules and saying "that's how it must be". Can't see the outdated system and can't imagine a new one.
Thank you for your comment!
Yes, you're entirely right!
