While I agree with your critique, I also think that your take on the issue of education addresses only the institutional half of the argument. The other half is the problem of the child itself. Believe it or not but most children as in 90% of children find school to be annoying no matter the background, type of school or even what pedagogical method is practiced. the root of this problem lands not only in the institution but also in the family or rather the social environment of the child. The ultimate challenge of every pedagogical method is focused on nurturing the child no matter the origin and resources that support them. If you are interested in matters of education Pierre Bourdiex's paper The Forms of Capital is an excellent introduction into the challenges inherent in education.
