Well, we are all shaped by the same Prussian standard. Why wouldn’t Germans be proud of that heritage? 🤌

From AI but verified:
The modern schooling system, with its age-graded classes, standardized curriculum, bells, and focus on obedience, largely stems from the 19th-century Prussian model designed to create compliant soldiers and workers for the state after military defeats. Key features like mandatory attendance, specialized buildings, teacher certification, and a tiered system (Volkschule for masses, Gymnasium for elites) were adopted globally, evolving into today's factory-like "conveyor belt" system focused on rote learning, discipline, and national unity rather than independent thought.
