A YouTuber named Prince Ea recently made a video, titled "I just sued the school system", where he took "School" (Characterised by an old white man) to court for failing students.

In it, he listed out, over an almost too inspiring music track, his problems with the school system in America.

The video has amassed nearly 1 million views on YouTube, and an incredible 17 million views on his Facebook page.

Here are some of his problems with the US education system

1. Makes students think they are stupid, and believe they are useless.

2. The system places too much emphasis on grades.

3. Killing creativity, individuality and being intellectually abusive.

4. Being too obsessed with standardised tests.

5. Maths is considered more important than Arts and Dance, when they should be considered the same.

Future

He warned that if America remained too obsessed with things like grades, or dismissing the arts, that will ultimately lead to a dangerous freefall in terms of their future generations.

Then he mentioned 2 countries whose education systems were better in those aspects than America.

One was Finland, which he commended for its collaborative learning model, among other things.

And the other country mentioned in the video?

Yes, apparently we are doing great in those five points mentioned above.
