What IS the point of education? In a clinical sense, one could argue that it is - and should be - to produce good employees.
Otokonoko,
I think it was supposed to be enlightenment. It worked for quite a while but when it was realised that it was even better for indoctrination that's when the rails started to widen. It has gone from the great discoveries to the abomination of brainwashing that it is now. Actually, brainwashing is not an apt term. Brain deadening is more applicable. We have now a situation where morons are the educators who sabotage the intelligence of just about all young students with impunity, all with the aim of furthering consumerism. Education itself has become consumerism.
