    The informal system refers to knowledge gained through life experiences outside of formal schooling. It has advantages like being a natural, flexible learning process without fees or certificates, but disadvantages like potential disinformation and lack of structure. The "hidden curriculum" refers to the unstated norms, values, and social rules implicitly taught in schools, such as raising your hand and turn-taking. It helps prepare children for society but can also reinforce outdated roles or social inequalities.
