!collapse
This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

The examples of the implementation details in the US education system seem to be more a complaint of money driving decisions, but this isn't seen anywhere near as starkly in other countries. Free or low cost education is quite available in Europe and elsewhere, for example.
Automating away housekeeping work is an interesting point. As is schools as daycare. Both are freeing up (mostly women) to add to the workforce, so it becomes increasingly clear that schooling and childcare should be cheap and available if this is the model that's desirable. That is, equality in the workplace.
