Or, more precisely, it's designed to do something different than what you think. The education system in the United States, from preschool all the way up until college and graduate school, is designed for a purpose.
The purpose is that the system only wants good workers and consumers. People to slot into the corporate bureaucracy, and then to spend a lifetime going into debt to buy stuff.
If people ever did anything differently to that, the system would collapse. Whether this is good or bad is hard to say, we'll see what happens. But the system cannot tolerate critical or independent thinking.
That's the reason why education in the United States is where it is.
