I mean, it's sort of preparing them for the real world.
Once they finish school it's not like people won't immediately start judging them and labelling them as failures if they can't compete / keep up.
If you don't change society before changing the school system you aren't really doing the kids any favours by sheltering them.
School is the real world. It's just their world, not yours. It's where they spend a huge fraction of their day and year. School needs to be a livable place regardless of what comes after. "Preparation" if necessary at all, can come at the end or be taught explicitly instead of implicitly.
No. School is already "the real world".
It's preparing kids to serve capital.
School and society are not separate things.
