RE: “If I live in Shakespeare’s neighborhood, I do not have to visit Pythagoras”
They have done an amazing job at what you have so eloquently described.
They have turned education into indoctrination. Taking the once, infinite imagination and creation of a young beings mind and molding it into the perfect, obedient, "color-in-the-lines" type mindset.
Later leaving them to wonder, "Why am I so unhappy"
When Johann Fishte wrote a letter to the German nation in 1807, he said this : "If you want to influence the student at all, you must do more than merely talk to him. You must fashion him. Fashion him in such a way that he simply cannot will otherwise than what you wish him to will."
Guess each and every nation took his advice...
