Flaws In Our School System

Most of our school systems revolve around academics and yet, it is extremely poor of what kids need. From Pre-Kindergarten to University, I truthfully believe our school system of education is deeply overvalued.

That pressure of the exam falling onto the desk as a world of stress fell tumbling onto your shoulders and immediately, you forgot everything.
