"School" in its modern form was created by the Prussian Empire, to turn humans into factory workers & soldiers.
In the US, that system was brought over by John D Rockefeller, instituted purely to dumb down & brainwash children. This was openly stated, and can be seen in various letters between him and other creators of the General Education Board, in the Library of Congress.
The first place they rolled out these new government schools was in Massachusetts, where the people refused to send their kids, so the government sent in troops to forcibly remove the kids.
Over the next 2 decades of expanding government schools, literacy rates plummeted.
Check out the work of John Taylor Gatto (NYC & NY-state Teacher of the Year winner) if you want to dive deep into the anti-education, anti-human, pro-war, pro-slavery, pro-authoritarianism roots & current structure of "school."
TL;DR - To call school "useless" doesn't even begin to cover the harmful nature of the institution.
