What is the importance of schooling in Vedic society?

Hare Krsna dear devotees

" Those who were not born in brahmana families were not meant for academic education. The brahmanas were trained in a literary academic education, the ksatriyas were trained to take care of the state, and the vaisyas learned how to cultivate the land and take care of the cows and calves.

THERE WAS NO NEED TO WASTE TIME GOING TO SCHOOL TO BE FALSELY EDUCATED AND LATER INCREASE THE NUMBERS OF THE UNEMPLOYED.

Krsna and Balarama taught us by Their personal behavior. Krsna took care of the cows and played His flute, and Balarama took care of agricultural activities with a plow in His hand. "

Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.11.37 Purport

Isn't it highly ironic that in Kali-yuga where most of the population is less than sudras, all children are supposed to attend school?

        If you don't want to answer to anyone don't post questions 

        Looks like he hates my presence here. All the time hurting me. 

        • Hare Krsna Mataji

          I like your presence here or anywhere for the matter. I sent you a friend request also here but you are not responding. I really need to speak to you sometimes on a one to one basis. I think you are helping others much more than I can and I am always eager to come online and see if you have responded to someone. It is just that things are getting tough for me and I have to be always careful.
