Nine Dangerous Things You Were Taught In School

[Praveen A]

1. The people in charge have all the answers.
2. Learning ends when you leave the classroom.
3. The best and brightest follow the rules.
4. What the books say is always true.
5. There is a very clear, single path to success.
6. Behaving yourself is as important as getting good marks.
7. Standardized tests measure your value.
8. Days off are always more fun than sitting in the classroom.
9. The purpose of your education is your future career.
And so you will be taught to be a good worker. You have to teach
yourself how to be something more.

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.

> So very true! Very dangerous things of course. Thanks for pointing out

Read what Chomsky thinks what is the purpose of Education along with this

"There have been many measures taken to try to turn the educational
system towards more control, more indoctrination, more vocational
training, imposing a debt, which traps students and young people into
a life of conformity… That’s the exact opposite of [what]
traditionally comes out of The Enlightenment. And there’s a constant
struggle between those. In the colleges, in the schools, do you train
for passing tests, or do you train for creative inquiry?”
