[Gently, his face screws up. He really is an old Gen Z man in a boy's body, and he really does hate public education.] It's... complicated.
People don't learn at the same speed or the same ways as others. The ones who learn slower fall behind, and the ones who learn faster are held back. Some people learn with their hands, and civil jobs are frowned upon even when they're the backbone of society.
However, grouping children based on a slow-fast standard breeds division between them even if keeping them together allows them to learn how to coexist.
[For a moment, he looks out as if he's thoughtful. Having to explain it reminds him of his Titans. They're all different, even working under a common goal.]
The American education system lacks important tutelage opportunities, and only some are offered as part of free schooling when it's over. Sports. Few academic clubs.
Plenty of children lack the income, mobility, and even parentage for the rest given by the community centers. Self defense, reproductive biology, home economics, personal business management. The basics everyone should receive.
It's flawed, is all. Even around the world, half of it is flawed. If you want to make better people, let kids experience the world they live in.
I know that better than anyone. My intellect and skills are beyond compare, and yet... [He frowns, expression dark, and he looks away. His voice is soft.] I don't know how to talk to anyone.
