We all know how brain dead education under capitalism which is worse now that Gen Alpha is around. Any possible alternate models outside of cramming a shitload onto 30+ kids only for them to forget it?

We need to get rid of grades and institute dialogical education (read pedagogy of the oppressed). Eventually, maybe abolish mandatory schooling like in News From Nowhere, because children are drawn to learn anyway, especially without coercion.
Mandatory schooling could probably be done away with eventually, yeah. Though I think it would be important to have some sort of social grouping and structure for kids- to provide opportunities for socializing, to ensure proper nutrition/exercise/that they’re not being abused, exploited, that they have agency within reason and law, rather than being essentially the property of their parents, etc… in such a scenario.
Indeed, society should be a good influence upon children. Unfortunately today’s schooling often makes people hate reading and try to stop learning as soon as possible.
