Indeed, the only complete solution to the schooling system&#x27;s deficiencies will be its abolition. Education and the accumulation of knowledge should be understood as a subsidiary and decentralized activity, one heavily driven by autodidacticism. Autodidacticism is and always has been the primary force of education, not any formal regimented institution. One does not enter a school and come out &quot;educated&quot; by the receipt of a degree. In fact, the very idea that there can be such a thing as an &quot;education system&quot; is a complete perversity, a self-negating ideal of a social planner.<p>Schooling should be strongly differentiated from the formation of academic and learning communities. People can still partake in seminars, gather for lectures and conferences, form study groups and even build schools with regular curricula to voluntarily participate in, if such a structure is deemed useful. The accreditation process should be repealed, and a boom in alternative schools (free, democratic, Sudbury, etc.) would likely follow.<p>Research universities should remain as academic communities, rather than be bogged down by an auxiliary function of serving as ritual prerequisites for entering the labor market.
