The cry for data on a topic like this is pointless. It's a point of view informed by my own experiences and observations as well as reading thousands of philosophers, scientists, educators, theologians, statistics, anecdotes, discussions, and so on. I'm presenting my synthesized point of view based on a lifetime of contemplation. You're trying to cut it down on the merit of one or two citations. Read the wikipedia article on "liberal education" and compare it to your experiences at public school. That is my citation. |

So, how about citing some of them?
I am crying out for data, because only by the truth represented by data can we make informed decisions. All else is blowing in the wind, gibbering tones of madness based on personal biases and opinions.
further edit:
I specifically asked for citations to demonstrate the validity of this claim:
Nobody wants to admit that the concept of "school" itself was designed to church out assembly line slaves. It's not a surprise that when the system is designed to turn humans into robots... that's what you get. Anyone who comes out of school with useful skills does it despite school, not because of school. John Taylor Gatto figured this out years ago.
In particular, this is an assertion of design, ie, that it was designed. I am saying, "Let's have more information", that is, references to thinkers who have advocated the effect of your quote.
Specifically, I am requesting a demonstration, a proof of these (relatively controversial) claims besides mentioning Gatto. You have refused to provide these so far.
This is not a personal opinion position paper I am poking holes in. I am poking at the need for demonstratable truth to your claim.
