Is it?

Education is not for all, as later realized by most, but that didn't stop all and still doesn't. We are seemingly enchanted by it as it presents the opportunity of bliss, albeit easy bliss and seems a shorter route to some bright path we are most times oblivious of. It is the mediocrity that is now a path of our social DNA. So by default, we still hold this schooling in high regard and it becomes who we are and can not do without. A religion.
On a lighter note, I am very glad to have the privilege of this religion, notwithstanding. I would like to think that without it I wouldn't primary be capable of vocabulary and thought. Fallacy. But it became too expensive, mainstream and abused and hardly any educating actually goes on in schools. We've turned those infamous sacred four walls into a social hall guided by such trivial laws and used for interactions and any other thing other than intellectual. The supposedly good students are proficient crammers and efficient "regurgitators" of knowledge. Values are dissipated and everybody is interested in the manilla or more civilly referred to as tender.
