Education and police systems

I do not understand the government and society letting children get harrassed by police. Apparently previous young offenders are getting stopped by police several times a day when they have done nothing wrong. There are too many arrests for very minor offences because of government targets (in a similar vain to dentists, doctors, teachers and most jobs). We do not want a police/nanny state. This causes children to rebel and relations to become frayed. Also serious offences are often overlooked because of bonuses to arrests (although this is changing due to severity of crimes).

So why are there so things that rip off people or restrict freedom in the benefit of bureaucracy and capitalism? No one cares that people are happy. You cannot get most jobs without waiting weeks for agencies and security checks. You cannot go to university and get an even education. I propose a system where universities give a level of education that is the same as other universities in the country. You do not learn important thigs about the real world in many courses and companies are biased towards some institutions over others. This bigotry has to stop. A link between careers and study has to be developed where a student can get a placement / experience regardless of course or institution.

Also we need to be aware of student debt and encourage more young adults to look at other options in shortage areas when they leave school. There are too many unregulated degrees and private training courses out there that generate money for the instituations by taking advantage of large numbers of individuals. More direction and empowerment is needed at all levels and less confusion and capitalist crap.
