Revolution: From Adult to Child of the Centuries

Let's be honest, the expectations of teens are not what they use to be. Back in the time of King Tutankhamen, he was a kid and was expected to rule all of Egypt! Okay maybe an example of centuries ago is not as effective, why don't we try our grandparents. When my Grandparents were teenagers, they could make a living for their family, they would work hard on a farm, or in school, or even with the house. They owned animals and were responsible for them. These kids couldn't wait to start a job to provide for their family! (I'm not saying there weren't a few in the bunch who were lazy)
Time went by and new laws came across, such as the Child Labour laws. Although the Child labor law was meant to protect children from being paid unfair wages, these children may not have known how to read and wright, but they certainly knew what a bit of money was even though they didn't know how much it was. The thing is, that during the 1800 there were hundreds of kids lining up in front of factories to work. These kids worked in all sorts of dangerous places forcing the government to do something about it.
 
Next came the machines, yes, when children worked there were machines, but after the children couldn't work, the factories needed some way to make their products. Because of this a machine was invented that could do ALL the work. Turning a job for 100 people into a job for 1 person. 
 Finally came the schools, the government is currently regulating laws that force your parents to send you to a school or at least educate you! If they don't you get taken away by the CPS! Now I'm not saying School is bad for you, but seriously they have been dumbed down to the lowest commen denominator! Meaning that almost anyone can pass the tests! WE HAVE BEEN DUMBED DOWN!
WE WILL NOT LET PEOPLE DUMB US DOWN! WE WILL RISE ABOVE THE NORM AND PROVE THEM WRONG!
What do you think? What are your ideas? Why not start this revolution?
