You walk into school curious, creative, full of ideas and slowly you’re taught to sit still, follow rules, and fit into a box. Not to think for yourself, but to become manageable. A worker, not a builder.
If you want more than average, you have to unlearn what keeps you comfortable and start thinking on your own.
This is a perspective on education and conformity, offered for reflection and discussion rather than as a universal description of schools, teachers or students.
