Our school system is based on the Prussian Schooling system, which was invented after Prussia lost the Battle of Jena in 1806 due to poor obedience by the military. So it engineers obedience. And we just re-tooled it to engineer obedient industrial workers. Any real learning is incidental.

So much bull**** in this post. Probably should see how schools are run in different countries. Yes, it is a LOT stricter.

American schools are basically prisons at this point, and I'm not joking. There are literally cops stationed at every school. There is this thing in the US called the "School to prison pipeline"
