Rob Dial argues schools train students to be obedient employees, not independent thinkers. They punish mistakes and demand single right answers, the opposite of what real life requires. This kills the creativity kids are born with.

The school system wants to keep you broke. It is built to pump out good employees that do what they're told. If you look at school right, it is the complete opposite of what it takes to be successful in the real life. Don't make mistakes. Do what you're told. Take tests by yourself. There's only one right answer to the problem. But to be successful in this world, you have to make a lot of mistakes. You need to work with other people to. To brainstorm, to find synergy. And there are many right answers in life. So we come out of school paralyzed and scared to death to make a mistake. And if you want my honest opinion, I think the school system is killing children's creativity, and that is one of the greatest tragedies in this world.
