As far as I'm aware, most children are born with a natural curiosity and inquisitiveness about the world. And then we send them to school and they somehow stop wanting to learn and many begin to hate learning.
Instead of education being a natural process of discovery and the unfolding of one's inclinations and natural abilities and interests, they are forced into pigeonholes, tested and scored on how they respond to questions and problems. They learn in schools today how to answer the questions, not understand problems and how solve them.
And even now millions still chase after ''an education'' that at best upon the conclusion of it may offer them a lifetime sentence in a corporate cubicle devoid of any inspiration other than the fact that it pays the bills. As long as they don't get outsourced.
And of bills there will be aplenty, especially the BIG ONE for that fine ''education they earned'' and which that landed such a plum gig living and working behind four movable walls.
The social contract (such as there was one that ever actually existed), has surely been broken. People continue in these ruts because that is all they know to do. It is what the ''leaders'' tell them to do.
