Obedience or Education?
Dogs go to obedience school and so do our children.
Education is the process of transferring the knowledge and experience of the teacher to the students. Learning is the process of acquiring this knowledge. The problem is that government schools teach students what to think rather than how to learn. "Conventional wisdom" is another name for outright stupidity.
When government controls all curricula, students are only programmed. A government that can control what their people think will be able to control the lives, liberty and property of the people.
