This might come across as a very strange question but is it uncommon to find engineers who did not enjoy school or think highly of the schools that they attended? I have encountered numerous computing and IT types over the years who did not enjoy school or had bad experiences at school but very few electrical or mechanical engineers.
please note I fully agree that schools aren't doing everything they could to help develop social and team skills, so let's change them so they do.
Major reforms to the curriculum are easier said than done. It's obvious but unobvious that teachers can only teach what they know. If you don't know something then you can't teach it.
There certainly are plenty of parents who favour that secondary schools move away from academics and more towards life skills and social skills. Some even go as far as saying that the only exams that students should take are basic English, maths, and science that are no more complicated than the KS2 SATS in order to confirm that they are not functionally illiterate or innumerate. Everybody will be expected to pass the exam.
