Agreed that this happens. As you note, "the wealthy & powerful don't want a highly educated general public." It's done to channel the classes, not help their individual lives.

If a student rebels in the lower class settings, at least the dimmer among teachers and admins will seek to stifle him/her as you note. But if the student is in an upper-middle to upper class environment, perceptive staff is far more likely to take notes and channel the energy in better ways.

Hello Anti Hip.

I am not even talking about early Public School,I am thinking of preschool & kindergarten!

These are the basic's for turning future savages into decent students & decent human beings afterwards! Kids need to learn basic discipline,basic social lessons & basic behavior.

Plus stimulation of their Imaginations & Curiosity! Old fashioned basic beginners Reading & Writing!

Public School just does indoctrination for the most part,not how to think objectively but raw data to believe! Without the very basics, humans would be wild beasts, there is nothing in basic human nature for living in a society peacefully with others.
