Is this a good representation of our current education system? Simply a conveyor belt where we take in children and spit out little identical robots? Unfortunately, I do see a lack of discipline and creativity in our kids and perhaps only a contrived, commercial “intelligence.” HOW DO WE CHANGE THIS?!

I love this post! I agree with your thoughts! BUT, as English Educators, we have the power to value discussion and interpretation through reading, writing, and speaking. Literature can be so ambiguous and enabling students to come up with their own interpretations and dissect characters can help shape an individuals learning. However, this is only in English, I can’t speak for other subjects, which also have a huge impact in the equation of education.
