Illogical remarks expose the speaker's incompetence, or selfishness, or both.

Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to know what to make of the whole education system pipeline, course requirements, and stuff.

The elementary school years, then the high school ones, and then the university ones. All that long learning takes away such mammoth amounts of time as well as energy, day in and day out. Keeps you nearly fully occupied, hence you almost can't learn your own things and think for yourself. And then, alas, the so-called lifelong learning, which can be stressful at times, awaits you and will accompany you to the grave.

种种学校，责成学生耗时竭力达成各种任务。

学子舍己而随人，殆矣。
