In fact, it is sad that the education system as a whole and free schools in particular turn into a circus!
Education from elementary school !SHOULD! involve children! Schools must interest, fill, give!
By discouraging interest in learning from childhood the education system destroys itself!
But the less educated a person is, the smarter the government seems! The less "confrontation" from such a people you can expect ... maybe this is the state plan?
P.S. Sorry for the next conspiracy theory :)
