Is the purpose of the school system to weed out natural individualism and replace it with dependance

schools are not just spewing nonsensical propaganda about how big 
government is good, but they are also turning children into people who are 
dependent upon it?Those children who do not go along get turned into drug 
addicts, which benefits the big pharmaceutical companies that sell the 
deadly addictive drugs (such as Ritalin), which ensures that they will 
eventually conform.

Have you ever noticed this?It starts in 
kindergarten when kids are taught to ''share'' rather than to respect 
property rights and then are taught to be glad when the teacher steals 
some kid is gum and throws it into the trash can, making everybody equally 
starved again.

If so, then the teacher has a responsibility to the rest of the students to  
keep control of the classroom. A lot of students displaying  
''individuality'' are labeled lazy, & disrespectful b/c they are not  
choosing the correct outlet for their creativity. Parents & teachers need  
to have a good working relationship, & see that these students get the  
enrichment they need. Parents need to encourage growth, while teaching  
them the value of cooperativeness, & productivity, even if bored.  
Teachers need to recognize potential & encourage higher level thinking.  
In my opinion, students should be tested, & placed in groups according to  
ability levels, not grade levels based on how old you are. Everyone  
learns at different levels, & paces. Some learn visually, by seeing &  
doing. Others learn by listening & remembering. I agree that our school  
systems need an overhaul, but where do you start. Teachers get just as  
frustrated as parents, believe me.  
If you really are concerned about where our schools are headed & the kids  
that are attending them, do something positive, & be a good example to  
those kids, instead of bashing the schools & the teachers. Parents are  
just as important in the education of thier child as the teachers are.
