I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Do you think schools, at least to some extent, mostly teach kids how to conform. It seems like they mostly want kids to all think the same way, act the way schools want them to, and learn the same way. Of course some of this is necessary but I've seen a lot of creative, highly imaginative kids lose a lot of that once they start school. It's a shame because the world desperately needs people who know how to think outside the box. School only caters to one kind of intelligence unfortunately.

Societal productivity and conformity is the goal of education. Encouragement to be individuals is a wonderful thing, but largely we exist to support our societal system and those who govern it.
