Basically changing the whats, hows and whens.

I agree with this. I think school makes people lazy, but not in the sense DEI37 is saying. So much of it is a complete waste of time. Nothing is learned if you're in the upper half of the class.
I know a lot of people who never worked before college. They'd show up to class in high school only to fall asleep or play games on their calculator. They spent no time on homework, never read the book, and still aced every exam. They were taught at an impressionable age that it doesn't take any work to be at the top, and many of them could never shake that lesson. Unfortunately, these are just the type of people who society should be trying to give the opposite message.
