For whom does the educational system toll?

It never fails to amaze how much I underestimate the human capacity for stupidity but are we to blame when the educational system is limited to its service of those we are taught to place on pedal stools whereby experts are paid to be as restrictive also in order to serve such a requirement?

Looking down our noses is as much an ignorant snobbery of the societal proclaimed superior as it is those from whom they trample over in equally as dismissive stupidity. How are we supposed to know whose expertise to trust when all is geared thus? And people wonder why we don't unite and toe the conforming line!
