The first lesson of the first class of the first day of school reads something like: "You are free to do as you are told".
Few people have asked where those twenty years go. How are they spent since youth is in the essence of a person's education.
Several basic lessons are taught, which are engraved in the memory from the youngest age. Those lessons usually move in the direction of a few general canons :
1. Don't question anything
2. Do not think but memorize and repeat
3. There is an authority over you that you must respect by default, nevermind quality and integrity, they are understood given that they are hidden behind an appropriate title.
If education, by some definition, should be acquiring new knowledge, creating a critical, creative and healthy way of thinking and preparing the young person for the upcoming life and professional challenges, even mass socialization - the results looks at us and smile in our face like Trollface, the forgotten meme from those early twentytens.
Which leads one to think that the end product of the educational system is its majesty: the BioDrone. The result is the indoctrination of the student with, for the most part, completely useless information that serves him nothing, the imposition of rules and regulations that he must follow if he wants to avoid being punished by taking away a year from his life and mental and sometimes physical punishment and production of many traumas, frustrations and paranoia that are obtained with a lifetime guarantee.
Usually some of the arguments pro violence and pressure on children by the educational system is alleged children indiscipline and lack of decency.
The same old crap that the system creates and produces is then used as a justification for punishment.
No, neither the parents nor the streets are innocent. Far from it.
But let's see where the rabbit lies and how deep the educational hole is.
Sorry to say but this rant is stopped by the regular electro-convulsive therapy. Cheerio comrades!
