I'm not sure how schools could change to better suit the needs of students in an effective way, but I do remember how it felt in high school, especially in regards to math. Even classes teaching subjects I loved like biology felt needlessly maticulous. I often found myself completing assignments for the purpose of just getting them done, rather than actually learning anything from it with a few exceptions (I loved creative writing). Whether I retained information was largely tertiary to receiving good grades and I often felt forced to take shortcuts and cheat just to get by on things I honestly felt taught me nothing of value sometimes.
I think in the future we will have to modify how we teach students to allow them more autonomy to fields they excel in and/or want to pursue beyond basic information. Perhaps someday, centuries in the future, we may not even have schools in our modern sense, but utilize A.I. and virtual reality as teaching tools.
Either way, I definitely feel like schools have a lot of baggage that needs to be properly addressed eventually. How would you address it? Do you even think there's a problem?
