I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn’t say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

    The thing is this: You wouldn’t have known what kind of activities you enjoy unless you had been exposed to a variety of them at some point. I absolutely think part of the education system’s job is to expose kids to a wide variety of activities, help them push their boundaries regarding what they think is fun, and experience mastering different things.

    I don’t know about your education system, but it seems like there may be a too one-sided focus on some sports. I remember from my time in grade school that we were exposed to pretty much everything from hockey/football (the kind you play with your feet)/basketball to dance/gymnastics/weight lifting/track and field, etc.
