Some people say that educators have high standards, but in fact educators have no standards at all. If educators had standards, they would make sure that everything that would be necessary to educate a child properly would be done. Educators insist on treating children as if they were products. Even that would not be so alarming if educators actually knew something about how to manufacture a perfect product. But educators themselves are so damaged and have so little knowledge of physical reality that if they were automobile manufacturers, they would try to produce cars with three wheels, not seeing that four wheels are essential to the functioning of the car.
Children have very specific requirements if they are to thrive and prosper.
While most educators do not know anything about what children really need in order to thrive and prosper, educators do know that what they are doing to children is harmful and wrong. Most educators realize during their student-teaching or during their first few months of employment in a school that what is going on in schools is hurting children. Teachers realize right away that it is not possible for one adult to meet the needs of 25 to 35 children and that very destructive things are going to have to be done to children in order to get them to conform to a system based on these ratios. The only conscionable reason for setting up schools as they now exist would be if there was a natural, or man-made disaster that wiped out most of the existing adult population and the majority of survivors were small children. If you were a modern psychologist, and you were studying a group of educators who, knowing that behaviors such as humiliating children before their peers was the wrong thing to do, went ahead and did it anyway, you would have to say that all of the teachers had serious character flaws.
