What is wrong with modern education as suggested by this poem?A link to the poem:...

From how I am reading the poem, given that some believe
most poetry may be subjective, I would tend to lead towards the fact that (according to
"Modern Ode to the Modern School" by Erskine) the modern school only focuses upon
providing a very limited scope of education.


The subject of
the poem decides upon the course of his life and studies only that. Outside of that
area, the student fails miserably. The school then refocuses the education of the
student--in a very limited scope again.


Erskine is
repeating the fact that schools limit the education of students; they do not educate
them on a global level to allow them to succeed in many different aspects of
life.
