We don't have an education system. We have an indoctrination system.

It poses as education, yet offers gender reassignment, tyrannizes parents, rotten to the core, LGBT studies, identity politics, safe spaces, group think, feelings and multiculturalism. Missing are critical thinking, reading, writing, math, science and art.

Abolish the department of education, leave educating and the curriculum up to the state and local levels.

I didn’t need a study to tell me that. I was homeschooled and still notice a very big difference with how I process things and solve problems vs how public schooled people do. Public school shuts people down to be obedient robots.

This study doesn't mean show what the headline states unless they compared the public school group to a homeschool group or another group of non-public-schooled children. Given the information the reader has, it might mean that as we age we just lose creativity as our brains change.

John D. Rockefeller founded the General Education Board in 1903, which is the origin of today's public school system.
“In our dream we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand. The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and, unhampered by tradition, we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive rural folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians. Nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply." ~ Rev. Frederick T. Gates, Business Advisor to John D. Rockefeller Sr., 1913
Edit: here's a good video of John Gatto explaining the purpose of the public school system... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeEWPbTad_Q

while i get it and school eventually becaomes indoctronation. little kids are like totally wasted people, you have to watch them constantly or they will climb on the counter tops and play with knives. little boys break everything to see how they work and little girls have no problem using mommys lipstick to draw smiley faces on walls.
and they fight and steal and lie. they have to have morals and discipline instilled in them or they will wind up like africans. i mean,they have to learn how to read and do basic math. you cant do that by letting them do anything they want in the name of creativity.

Schools give children the tools to carry out their creativity, when kids realize that their creative endeavours are impractical, they rethink things and ground their thoughts in reality, doesnt make them less creative, they just know what will and wont work. Give one of those creative kids a bunch of tools and tell them to make the creative thing they thought of and they will get nowhere.
Where i live we have charter schools where some just leave everything up to the kids to sort out and learn at their own pace, my fiance had to teach one of them who transferred to her school and the kid was fucking useless, couldnt read, write, count or do anything, alot of use that creativity is when they cant even count.

That reminds me of a conversation I had. He was a cashier at a ghetto party store.
He was telling me at least 20% mumbled or spoke so poorly they couldn’t get the service they wanted, then they would get mad.
Imagine being a doctor and dealing with that? Detroit has a 80% dropout rate. And 51% of the blacks are functionally illiterate.

Studies show people will buy into anything as long as you preface it with "studies show".
