Why is school becoming more of a burden

While writing another article, called "Underage Drinking Issues", I got an idea. A possible answer to why schools are becoming to burdensome nowadays, while they were not so much a few generations back.

Let's look at it this way. A couple of thousand years ago, when god's son had descended to save us, what the children study in 3rd grade now would have been rocket science back then. Those considered scientific scholars back then would be useless now. What I'm trying to say is, as time progresses, new things are invented, new theorems derived and new ways to bore students are found. With all this, the overall matter in all the subjects increases exponentially. There is much much more to learn. What people back then had to study over twelve years has been so much more stuffed and packed with more text.that it sums up to a million years of knowledge forced into the mind in just about 10-15 years.

Well, we can't exactly stop inventing new stuff and giving out theorems. But what we can do is divide up all the subjects into further subgroups and giving students the freedom to specialize in one particular subgroup. It will make things so much easier for us and would save the teachers and parents the complains and worries.

Hoping against hope to have a looser schedule.
