This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

These teachers are just teaching from the same cloth they were taught from.

  1. The teacher is always right.
  2. If the teacher is wrong, refer back to rule number one.

The teaching goals in this system are to teach obedience, not information. It's highly useful when training the next generation of factory workers, not thinking individuals. The teachers are teaching a mindset.

And it varies from school to school, locale to locale. It depends on what the admin views as productive and necessary, almost like a culture in a sense, and is the difference between an inner city school vs a private elite school.
