It was all obedience training: telling us how to dress, act and to stand in line. Teachers reason for telling us how to dress is because this is what we will be expecting from our jobs. This was a lecture topic from many educators is that we need to listen because this is how work will be.
The first thing I remember from government class is the teacher telling us how to vote and voting any other way is wrong.
The school system needs to change so that students can actually learn something other than to be capitalists or that stupid state test that they stress us over.
