Actually, the world in general is an astonishingly stupid place at times, it's not just your school.
In a lot of ways though, it all depends on how you define wisdom versus stupidity. Personally, I consider pouring 40+ hours per week into repetitive motions purely in pursuit of house/car/boat/bigger house/foreign car/longer boat to be pure folly, whereas lots of people around my age (25) seem to think that's a worthy use of their time. I wonder if they'll think that in 40 years time?
Maybe I'm wrong...
