It fails miserably.
The point of the education system is to program the next generation of worker bees and at the end separate off the very knowledgeable (but not always intelligent)obedient students and place them in the top management positions while the rest wage slave.
They do this using a very rigid one size fits all system, which fails the gifted kids who learn to fast, get bored and waste their talents and the slow kids who have become so bewildered at the pace of learning that they give up trying to keep up and become the "bad kid".
These kids then will become great artists, thinkers, entrepreneurs, craftsman and athletes if they're lucky or they become the hated underclass.
As for me I learnt more outside of school teaching myself than I did from the actual teachers, I remember in my first year of secondary school (high school) I finished reading the entire history textbook for the year in a month, so I fucked about in class and went to the local library instead to learn history and still got good grades.
Also school never actually teaches you how to THINK, I was taught science but never the taught the scientific method. Even business classes generally taught you how to work for one and not about turning an idea into one.
I attribute this fact of education to the main reason why humanity fails half the time.
Hmm, you know when you get that feeling that shouldn't probably click that post button due to the inevitable wall of hate it might receive? I'm getting that feeling now...
