Schroeder opens by noting that the average student spends 10,000 hours in school before graduating, yet a staggering amount of this time is consumed by anxiety, stress, and rigid structures. She argues that the modern education system is fundamentally broken because it is built on an industrial-era framework. During the Industrial Revolution, schools were intentionally designed to produce disciplined, compliant factory workers using methods like standardization, strict testing, and rigid schedules. However, human development and genuine learning do not thrive under factory conditions, creating a crisis in an era driven by rapid technological advances like Artificial Intelligence. Laura is a high school student driven by curiosity, a desire to make meaningful impact and the belief that every single person has the potential to accomplish incredible things! Interests range from psychology and philosophy over art and literature to physics and AI, but my deepest passions lie in education
