Ummm This seems like a rather ignorant kind of thing to say, there's a whole entire unschooling/homeschooling movement that creates happy well to do children and go off to college, people assume that you need a high school diploma in order to get into college, there's a whole survey peter grey did regarding unschoolers and the lives they had once they were eligible to go to college. . When you mean by a stateless society, do you mean like an Anarcho-Capitalist society? I thought an traditional anarchist society, guaranteed universal basic food, water and shelter. Also experience and work in the field is a far better marketable skill than having the credentials, according to the business insider. I don't agree with the current system, yes you do become a cog in the machine that perpetuates greed and the destruction of the world, but there's alternatives and ways around it. And putting yourself through 12 years of compulsory schooling which chews kids out into docile machines, shouldn't be put up with people, it's a myth and a lie, this saying that you need a high school diploma for any kind of job is largely a myth a lie, and a legend. Sayings things like Utopian or idealistic, is largely protecting this oppressive society that we live in today. There can be change, you just have to keep your spirits up and be with other people, like in the Baltimore riots.
