How do we solve education (lemmygrad.ml)

We all know how brain dead education under capitalism which is worse now that Gen Alpha is around. Any possible alternate models outside of cramming a shitload onto 30+ kids only for them to forget it?

Literature and history should absolutely not be optional, especially world literature and world history. I don't care how much kids whine, or how boring they claim it is; because it is the lack of education in those subjects that have created a lot of the historical and cultural ignorance we see in the world.

Math education should also go far beyond arithmetic. Entry level, first year calculus and statistics is a much better "stopping point". At that point math starts to get a bit to esoteric too be useful in day to day life, but up until then, the math learned is invaluable for a person being able to function in society.
