Still, there are a lot more of them than there are of us. Schools remind us of this fact. Their environment is rigid and highly structured. It is geared to that majority who do not think outside the box. Sameness and uniformity is the watchword.
Conformity is rewarded.
Creative thinking and independent activity is punished. Most people conformed. It was easier to do. This is why so many people are not just content to live in it, they hide in it, and they resent us if we try to liberate them from it. Perhaps it is because that was how they were raised in those schools.
