>And by the way, who's preventing you to teach your children to identify(and thus ignore) the flaws of this system?

What do you mean 'ignore'? If children are forced to go to school, they can hardly 'ignore' that they are being bullied or 'just go away' if a teachers is incompetent.

Most children are perfectly capable of identifying the flaws, they are just impotent and can't do anything about it which causes additional misery.

The children are incapable. The parents are not.

If they don't know how to handle those things then maybe: 1) they should have thought better before deciding to have children and 2) seek help on how to raise them?

We used to live in the fucking jungle and you think that today's society is cruel? What's the matter with you people?

True. Some parents see those problems and deal with them by, for example, homeschooling their children.

Homeschooling doesn't strike as a thing an 'incapable' parent would choose to do. It takes deliberate thought and lots of work.
