My son was a nerd...the kind of kid who spends hours reading, does his homework, had a vocabulary equal to high school graduates (in grade 2). He would not have done well in a totally silent, don't ask questions, don't talk back school.

The school is for automatons; children forced into a mould and given no chance at a normal life. This is NOT the way to teach children, especially gifted children.

It's to instill a fascist mentality. Simply and only. It produces children who conform and are always looking for external direction. Period.
