What you mean is that their strengths are identified and focussed on so that they can eventually go into a job / career that focusses on that strength and therefore be a more efficient cog in the machine. It is intrinsically the purpose of curriculum based education... there's no way around that.
If I am wrong, if it is not what schools are trying to do, then the only alternative is that schools are failing miserably in whatever it is they ARE trying to do, because we live in a nation of drones.
