I feel like the education system fails every day.

I love how they are always telling us that school is a place where you should be comfortable, happy etc. Yeah I can say, most of us students don't really feel that way. Yes there are some teachers and classes I look forward to, or being in them doesn't suck that much but overall it's really nothing. I feel like the education system fails over and over again. It fails the students. I see so many people my age (me included) that are just surving and hoping they will make it to the end. It's just sad. I know that education is very important, but can't they see that they are slowly killing us ? Is really being a good student more important then being happy and to feel good about yourself?
