I wonder how this will affect attitudes towards schooling as an institution in general in the future? These children will grow up and take their places as policymakers, parents and so on - will they value school more, or less?

Perhaps we'll see some large scale restructuring of the school system altogether, which at this point doesn't seem like the worst outcome necessarily, every teacher I've met in my adult life has expressed pretty vocal grievances about almost every administrative aspect of their jobs.
