Model Students

"Why is school so hell-bent on turning people into the conformed "model student"? One that does all their work, turns it in, obeys the teacher and all the demands, scores high on the test, etc. It almost seems as if school is trying to kill off different personalities and instead create a unified one. School basically attempts to exclude other personality types. I find that pretty creepy. I won't try to say that this is the complete point of school, but it seems that the "model student" seems to be more on churning out a drone rather than a human being." - Source

Oh, I dunno... Maybe it's because working like a drone to fuel the economy is all that matters to the government? That and obeying authority blindly. We don't want any uprisings against corruption, now do we?
