Education

[LawAbidingCitizen]

Governments don't want an educated population they only desire complient tax paying consumers, their worst nightmare is a highly literate society. If state education is so good then ask yourselves why the elite send their children to private schools?

Absolutely right Tartar Horde - that is what is really meant when one says they have the benefit of a classical education - they have learned the process of learning how to learn and think 'critically' - the Process known as the Trivium (Aristotle). This should be taught as a matter of course in all schools as it empowers individuals and also highlights the key areas where they are strong and others area where they may need further development - of course as you say governments only desire compliant tax paying consumers, and I would add, unthinking drones.
