I would also question if most of the primary education is useful. Some of it is useful, but not much of it for the number of years put into it.

Plus students who are good at an early age are dumbed down by this kind of education system.

Personally, only secondary education made any significant impact on my career.

I've seen this claim a lot, that smart students are 'dumbed down'. Is there any non-anecdotal evidence of this? How are you measuring intelligence and what is the reference point?
