This is not school policy. First of all it is not THE system s , it is only a tiny part of THE system s . Secondly, genius represents newer, more dynamic, more highly evolving intellect. It cannot lose longer term. Intellect has tentative moral privilege over society.
Originality is suppressed.
Individuality is crushed. Mediocrity is at a premium. That is why our country has such clever business men, such cunning artisans, such resourceful politicians, such adroit leaders of new cults, but no scientists, no artists, no philosophers, no statesmen, no genuine talent and no true genius. School-teachers have in all ages been mediocre in intellect and incompetent. Baron Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz.
