Schools are a place where we go to learn the things our parents, and other authorities want us to learn, to be brought up in the same way as everybody else. Schools are just another institution that trains us students, the inmates to behave how they want us to.

In our young years in school like kindergarten, we're taught that we can speak out with out permission, not to speak while the teachers are speaking and to do whatever the teacher tells you to do, because "the adults know best". In school we're taught that the teachers are superior and the students inferior, that we cant become successful without them.

Even though we try to loosen up the power by not paying attention to the teachers or not doing the work assigned to us, but we still go to school, we still go and sit down in class like we're suppose to and even though people put the blame on their parents, that only shows even more that we're like trained pets, that are just going through that rebellious stage. Also if we act out too much we get in trouble, which is something we don't really want to have, so after a certain time of being discipline we eventually just star following the rules, like dogs who don't want their noses in their poop.

I think even though there are teachers that try to break the trends the teachers use to teach but going against the system, like how Robin Williams did in Dead Poets Society, but doing things differently, it doesn't really matter, because the teacher is stilling training you to become a certain way, they're just using a different method to do it.

I don't really think there is a way to escape the system, because even though you could go and teach yourself from books and visiting other countries, you're still getting other peoples insights which are shaping you up, to become someone else, and also if not teachers its parents, or the laws because if you break the law you'll end up in jail where its actually an institution and you cant act out because you'll just get into even more trouble.
