1.Curiosity is spontaneous and must be suppressed. Prohibit spontaneity and regiment learning so that children are taught things when the system decides, not when they want to learn them. 2.Remove children from the adult world so that they are deprived of role models, and cannot learn by copying adults. 3.Enact child labour laws so that anyone trying to escape from the illiteracy mill has nowhere else to go. Supplant curiosity by drudgery.

It creates massive problems of motivation and discipline. Teachers commonly quit after a few years of attempting to combine the roles of entertainer and enforcer in an effort to get something done. And there are no refunds. If a child comes out of the system with his brain turned to mush, the parents should still be forced to pay, every year for the rest of their lives.
