That is precisely why the government and the corporate establishment passed laws to make STATE educational standards compulsory. . . so that children learn to follow authority unquestionably, and there is no more entrepreneurial spirit to compete with the oligarchs or elites. Grade school kids are taught exactly the opposite. DUH. Any kid that dare to think independently? GETS BULLIED! And we all know it. . . just like you bully anyone that dare to think independently on this site. . . ah, they trained you well, and you got gold stars all the time, didn't you?I would expect this kind of behavior from a grade school kid.
Grade school kids are taught to think independently. Did you just follow other kids around and mindlessly agree with them?
.. . . most of us on this forum? We know that YOU are one of their ultimate success stories. What Goethe would term, "those who falsely believe they are free." Unless? You had a private education. . . and this is your job? eh, wut wut?

"The Seven Lesson
School Teacher
Call me Mr. Gatto, please. Twenty-six years ago, having nothing better to do at the time, I tried my hand at schoolteaching. The license I hold certifies that I am an instructor of English language and English literature, but that isn’t what I do at all. I don’t teach English, I teach school – and I win awards doing it.
Teaching means different things in different places, but seven lessons are universally taught from Harlem to Hollywood Hills. They constitute a national curriculum you pay for in more ways than you can imagine, so you might as well know what it is. You are at liberty, of course, to regard these lessons any way you like, but believe me when I say I intend no irony in this presentation. These are the things I teach, these are the things you pay me to teach. Make of them what you will.
