Old generation vs. new generation: Why our school system is failing today's children

If your child is struggling in school, it may have nothing to do with their abilities or intelligence. The truth is, our current education system was designed to fit children in an economic system. But this economic system of seventy years old no long exist and children born today are children with completely different frequencies, talents, and life purposes. Due to AI, they will have different jobs and therefore need different skills and talents.
This fundamental mismatch is creating a generation of unhappy, disconnected children who are being judged by standards that no longer serve them.

A system built for a different time
Our current school system was and is meant to make sure children are ready to serve the older economic system. A system designed for the generation of children from about seventy years ago. The system has been somewhat adapted, but for the most part, children are still taught to fit into an economic system that is focused on the growth and desires of older generations. The economic system and the school system in this form no longer have a right to exist for the coming years.
The older generations focused primarily on working, maintaining society, and achieving a better economic position, what was important for these generations right after the second world war. It was necessary to first rebuild live and society.
Important to know is that the older generations hold plenty of pain and trauma. They embraced structures that allowed them to live disconnected from the pain. It takes to live in prosperity before the pain and traumas of older generations and society can be healed. The education system was necessary for them, detrimental for our generations.
The generation that grew up with the ideology that making money is about the most important thing there is, is responsible for the current curriculum. This curriculum contains everything they themselves consider important: prioritizing yourself, following the rules well, don't be creative or think for yourself, dealing with money, and earning as much as possible. Math problems, for example, are often about making money or winning, but rarely about cooperation and healing.
The mismatch
The fact that today's children will fulfill different roles and have different talents also requires a different education system. Currently, talents that children will barely need later weigh heavily for possible further education. On the other hand, skills they do need are not taught.
For example, because of their different need for communication, children find spelling more difficult. Due to technical developments like ChatGPT, they won't need it later either. Yet children are still judged on it at school and by society. This was important for previous generations, but not for this generation. They need to learn more about programming and conceptual thoughts.
Because of their sensitivity, the new generation also needs a different living environment. But there's a good chance your child is being taught in a building that looks a lot like an office and where the energy frequency is relatively low. A building where previous generations with a lower frequency functioned just fine, but for the high frequency children it´s killing.
Following education therefore often requires a different environment, talents, and knowledge. Most of the children who are on Earth now don't fit into existing systems and become unhappy in our current structures. You can already see this reflected in our school system and youth care system, where children clearly indicate they are deeply unhappy. The thing is that they need another environment, talents, and knowledge, ones that children's souls choses. Their souls are just no able to adapt to the old structures anymore, they asking to a system that suits their souls.
The fact that your child cannot adapt therefor has nothing to do with your child. Do you remember reading that this is because they have a 'genetic modification,' which means they are genetically no longer able to adapt to this school system? It´s litterly in their genes, it´s not a wish or wanted, or entitlement.
Consequences for the new generation
Due to the changes and the mismatch between talents, educational offerings, and needs, children are increasingly being judged on their weaknesses instead of their strengths. This makes children unhappy. They are fed knowledge that is not relevant to them and are judged on different requirements than those they need. There is often no way out. Parents and teachers are also trapped in a web of rules and laws. Daring to let this go is often difficult or impossible.
Because of the mismatch, children cannot learn well at school. The children are too young to realize that the fact that learning at school doesn't work is because they learn better in a different way. Parents and teachers often choose to push children to go to school anyway and that they 'just need to try harder.' As a result, children begin to doubt their capabilities and their identity. The fear of failure will increase, as will the feeling of 'not being good enough.' There are many children who have developed negative beliefs about themselves or others because of school. Simply because a different learning path suits them better.
The cost of conformity
As a result, many children choose to distance themselves from their feelings and follow the path laid out by their parents and society. They seem happy and largely are. They enjoy what is there and do what belongs to a 'nice social life.' Yet deep inside, something keeps gnawing. The feeling of being 'different,' 'loneliness,' or quiet wishes. These are the children who get burnout, boreout, or depression when they become adults. Some children drop out earlier; they are the school dropouts. Often talented children, but not in math, reading, and spelling. Some children choose to numb themselves; they eat and drink excessively or use drugs.
Fortunately, children always retain the choice to return to their path. Their guides are always willing to help with that choice. The more children succeed in following their path, the easier it is for other children to follow.
What children really need
We too often forget that children already are someone and don't need to become something. They only need to become a larger version of themselves. That can happen if there is more space and acknowledge in our society for today's children.
