While I completely disagree with the Stasi tactics of the school system, what people fail to see is that it is the system that is broken and was designed to keep children in line.
Compulsory school only came about in the mid 1850's. It's time to get rid of the system. I suggest reading some of John Taylor Gatto's books to find some more information and better answers to the questions about education.
