Whether you like it or not, this is not possible, nor would it fully be beneficial. You're trying too hard to bash society. While I agree that drastic change bringing simplicity is highly needed, you're failing to think logically.

You're implying that laziness would be the key to happiness. While you may not realize it, even you, the advocate for such an idea, would be in part against it, correct? Without a lifestyle influenced by work and education, nothing would be done. You wouldn't have the computer you're sitting on all day in which likely lead you to such ideas. You wouldn't have the monumental happenings in history to look back on. You wouldn't have anything, really. Think.

This is where a college education comes into play. A lot of the read and regurgitate mentality is thrown out the window. While our education systems can and will be refined, we're doing pretty damn well.

That's a lot to ask, however, I'll attempt to grasp the simplicities of it.

A sincere implementation of the 'teach me how to think, don't teach what to think' dynamic within our education system. Intelligent teachers. (These institutes manifest teachers as smart since they know the subject which they dictate, or leastly they should, giving them appearance of being smart and sophisticated, however truthfully, the majority of them are under-trained, undereducated, mindless morons who unconditionally obey their authorities.) A reformation of standardized testing and pointless information, guided by honesty with the students.

A reformed approach towards what a career or rather a life really is. Your life is your career, your career is not some convenient occupational title. This, guided by an unyielding honesty with oneself and initiative for refinement can we find this land of ideal.

Your point about teachers being mindless is really good. I've always tried to explain that to people but they argue that teachers are almost always geniuses.

I go to a nice private high school which prides in their academics and I've yet to figure out what the point of all the bullshit is.

You say, "a reformation of standardized testing", by reformation do you mean there should still be standardized tests? If so, what could be different and how would that still be effective?

If you argue against standardized tests altogether, what do you suggest be done for wide scale statistics and such from tons of students?
