We Still Haven't Figured This Out Yet

How is it that we still haven't figured out that, we can’t fix the whole world. Even if we could why don't we first start by fixing our things, before we decide to try and fix other peoples things. 
I don't understand why we still haven't figured out that in order for us to try and even remotely attempt to make a change we have to first make a change in the things we do. It’s my opinion that if everyone tried to first change their own life then the world would be much better place. I also don’t understand how we haven’t yet figured out that the way the educational system is set up is just bad. I realize that I have learned a lot more when I wasn’t stressed about getting an A or when I wasn’t trying to cram the next topic in my head. I seemed to retain more when I was interested, in the subject that I chose not one that I was mandated to take. It seems like as kids we have figured it all out, the solution to the educational system and it’s a great plan, but then we grow up and completely forget about trying to change it, and we subject our kids to the same system. When will we ever learn!!!!!

  1. I am not arguing with you, but just proposing the idea that maybe you...all of us...will think differently about our educational system in hindsight, once we see how it has impacted our long run. I agree that children often fail to recognize their passions and do not always have the opportunity to become wholly engaged in their passions; such is disappointing. However (and just wondering your thoughts) are there benefits to the current educational system, one which forces students to be exposed to many different forms of knowledge?
