I’m not sure someone needs to have kids to have been through the education system themselves and decide on balance it’s primary function is to give kids somewhere to be to allow their parents to work first and educate some distant position further down than that.
Outside those with academic aspirations the system offered very little in terms of skills needed to get into a trade. People who make a success of themselves in a trade often do so despite the system, rather than because of it.
And I went to school before entire bits became dedicated to pronouns.
(Whether there’s societal value in this is a separate argument, but the housing market won’t prop up itself on the basis of one income households)
