This philosophy believes schools should focus on teaching more socialization and emotional skills rather than logic and facts. Many critics of public education indicate that American schools have been ruined because of this method of teaching. As we all know too well, schools do a wonderful job of creating not only dumb kids, but also emotionally unstable kids who just happen to know how to behave in society until, that is, their minds go berserk with emotional overload and something such as Columbine happens.
Social indoctrination comes in many forms.
Such indoctrination is more visible in the elementary school level. Principal Charlene Baskerville was considerate enough to send each student home with a copy of the Creed so that their parents could help them memorize it. In fact, chants are ways in which dictators use to maintain order on people's thinking and get them to obey. Schools should be in the business of teaching kids knowledge. In this case, teaching students how to read, write, and perform math operations.
