"The very nature of the school system is to train people to follow the clock, to move obediently from one place to another (in straight lines), and to more or less accept whatever is taught as primary importance. Teachers feed the students the subject at hand, chosen by remote and invisible politicians and lobbyists, and students consume it. With dozens of people in one classroom, it is impossible to fully individualize instruction without bucking the system of a chosen curriculum for everyone to attain mastery in. Teachers that do so are not commended except, perhaps, by their students."
