Aside from the first few years of primary education in which your are taught the necessities of reading, writing, and arithmetic all you're being taught is to take orders, be complacent in the fact that you have to sit and do as you're told all day, and to believe a history and way of life that has been rewritten over and over again to suit the needs of the society you live within. After 12 years of schooling outside the staple education, all you have done is been molded into the content worker you are expected to be. To go forth and work a 9-5, so you can make more money, and buy more shit, because that's apparently what makes the world go round. Anyone with half a brain could learn and smash out the high-school curriculum in a couple years tops. What you're learning is to sit there and take it. Indoctrination of the masses indeed...
